Chargers at Saints preview
Week 5 will find the New Orleans Saints (2-2) trying to build some momentum after they squeaked out a high-scoring win in Detroit last week. They'll host the Los Angeles Chargers (1-3), who have been somewhat scrappy despite a losing record early in the season.
The Chargers are led by a rookie quarterback in Justin Herbert, who has played pretty well despite losing his only three games as a starter. He'll face off against veteran and future Hall of Fame inductee Drew Brees, who is hoping for another run at a championship late in his career.
The last time the Chargers beat the Saints in 2004, Brees was actually their quarterback. He left for New Orleans before the 2006 season, after which he became one of the NFL's best quarterbacks and won a Super Bowl in 2010.
While the Chargers aren't expected to make much noise this season, given they share the same division as the Super Bowl-defending Kansas City Chiefs, the Saints are in the hunt for the NFC South title against Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
If history is any indication, this matchup between the Saints and Chargers should be a high-scoring affair. That's a safe bet this time around, given the amount of offensive weapons each team boasts. But you'll have to tune in to find out if the fireworks will fly.
