Week 12 – at Los Angeles Chargers

The Cardinals will make their second trip to Los Angeles this season. This time to face the Chargers, in their first meeting since their move to Los Angeles.

The Cardinals last played the then San Diego Chargers 18-17 on Monday Night Football to open the 2014 season. The last time they played them on the road was in 2010.

In that meeting the Chargers whipped the Cardinals 41-10. This trip probably doesn’t end that lopsided. You’ll be looking at a game much like what happened in 2014.

The two teams will have also already seen each other in the preseason. So there will be some familiarity between the two teams.

How much that plays into what we see in week 12 remains to be seen. The Cardinals should have a good shot at victory here though in an offensive battle between two solid veteran quarterbacks in Philip Rivers and Sam Bradford.
