The Chargers lead the series with the Vikings 5-4. They have won six of their last seven games against teams from the NFC and 10 of the last 14. The Chargers and Vikings are meeting in the regular season for just the second time since 1999. The Chargers won the last meeting, 42-28, in 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Bolts have fashioned their current win streak by playing with an efficient and balanced offense, while suffocating the opposition with their defense and special teams play. The Chargers have had only one offensive turnover and allowed only one sack in the last three games; the offense is averaging more than 176 rushing yards per game, and six different offensive players have scored touchdowns, including four by LaDainian Tomlinson, three by Antonio Gates and one by the recently acquired Chris Chambers. Defensively during this current three-game streak, San Diego hasn’t allowed a play longer than 31 yards; they haven’t allowed a rushing touchdown, and they have taken the ball from their opponents 11 times, including three interceptions in the last two games by Antonio Cromartie. For the season, the Bolts’ 19 takeaways are second in the NFL and their +8 turnover margin is third. On special teams, San Diego’s coverage units are playing as well as any in the league. In the last three games, the Bolts have scored two touchdowns on special teams, while forcing their opponents to start 20 of 31 total drives at or inside the 20-yard line following punts or kickoffs.
