After falling to the Arizona Cardinals 18-17 on Monday, the San Diego Chargers have the difficult task of having to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in order to prevent and 0-2 start.

The Chargers had a nice opening drive, moving 48 yards in 14 plays and taking eight minutes off of the clock but because of a sack, they had to settle for a 50-yard Nick Novak field goal.

The Seahawks answered just over a minute later with a 51-yard touchdown run by Percey Harvin.

The Chargers, however, had an answer of their own. Philip Rivers took the Chargers 80 yards in nine plays and found veteran tight end Antonio Gates for a touchdown to give them a 10-7 lead.
