Revis will make Jackson a nonfactor (Gates worries me, but Rhodes did a good job on Gonzalez) and the Jets got gashed by the Bengals on the ground, while SD has no running game whatsoever. Their defense also can't stop the run, so it seems unlikely that Sanchez is suddenly going to have to throw for 300 yards. It's hard to be very confident going up against a red-hot team like them, but I don't think anything about the matchup is particularly difficult.

I'm going to think the opposite as the Chargers gang up on the run to dare Sanchez to beat them.
Don't sell the Chargers short on stopping the run: NERD ALERT!!!
During the 11 game streak, the SD defense has allowed an average of 107 yds per game while only allowing a total of 4 TD's on the ground. 107 average ranks them 8th in the league in that timespan. They tightened the ship since the lousy start to the season. Plus they allowed a total average of 228 yds per game in that span. That's better than the Jets 247 yds per game in the same span.
