Chargers in trouble?

January 9, 2008 1:51 PM

Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz thinks the Chargers are in over their heads in Sunday's divisional playoff game against the Colts.

The last time these teams met, the Colts were missing Tony Ugoh, Dallas Clark, Marvin Harrison, Anthony Gonzalez, Freddy Keiaho, Tyjuan Hagler, Raheem Brock and Charlie Johnson.

All of those players should be available for Sunday's game. I think the Colts will win, but I don't think it will be as easy as Kravitz suggests. As good as Indianapolis' defense has been, it's only ranked 15th against the run. The Colts give up 106.9 rushing yards per game.

The Titans sold out to stop LaDainian Tomlinson, but they eventually got burned in the passing game. I think Tomlinson will finish with about 90 rushing yards Sunday.

Will that be enough for the Chargers to win? I doubt it.

I'm off to work on a project. See you back here later this afternoon.
