TV: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Records: Chargers 4-8, Jags 4-8

Line: Chargers by 2½

Satellite radio: Chargers feed on Sirius 105 (streaming 816), Jags feed on Sirius 83 (streaming 814)

Chargers’ keys: Los Angeles’ defense is talented, but it struggles against the run, allowing about 110 yards per game. If the Chargers can hold RB Leonard Fournette in check, it can put pass rushers Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa in a position where they can get after QB Gardner Minshew II, who is back starting over Nick Foles but has had fumbling issues. Offensively, QB Philip Rivers has a chance to deflate a defense that is no longer the elite group he dealt with in 2017.

Jaguars’ keys: To alleviate pressure on the rookie Minshew, Fournette must continue his success on the ground. Minshew should also look to get his favorite target DJ Chark going because his success leads to the Jags’ offense to having a good day.

Who wins? The Jags haven’t won a game since before their bye week, and it’s hard to see that happening against the Chargers’ defense. Chargers 21, Jaguars 17
