Three San Diego Chargers who must play big vs. Chiefs

Regular season football is back, and it couldn’t start off faster than playing an extremely important game within the division.

Here are the players that need solid performances to help that happen.

This game will be the Chargers chance to prove they aren’t the 4-12 team from last year. The easiest way to do that is show not only a commitment to the run, but an ability to pick up yardage in the running game.
