Chargers vs Bengals Week 2 preview: Will lightning strike twice at PBS?

Is it possible for a Week 2 game to be a "must-win" type of contest? The fantastic aspect about the game of football resides in the fact that every game means so much, week in and week out. While the San Diego Chargers aren't in the AFC North, it's a conference game with many implications for both clubs in 2015.

For all of the bloody-knuckled history between the Bengals and their divisional foes, the Chargers have a special place in Cincinnati's historical annals. Whether it was "The Freezer Bowl" in January of 1982, the Chris Henry memorial in Southern California back in 2009, or the Wild Card disaster in during the 2013 playoff bracket, the two teams have had some epic battles.
