Chargers vs Vikings preview
The Chargers have been struggling with their offense, according to NFL.com. Partly this is due to injuries and partly due to poor performance. Justin Herbert hasn’t been bad as a quarterback. He threw for 420 yards in the team’s last game. However, three sacks and two interceptions suggest not everything is going fine for him, too.

{{/usCountry}}Herbert and Co. will be up against it in the Thursday night fixture, with the Vikings having the second-highest blitz rate in the league currently, per NFL.com. So, Herbert and the team’s O-line will have to be doubly cautious in this game.
On the other side, the Vikings have some issues at the QB position. Carson Wentz is set to make his fifth start, as JJ McCarthy is out with an injury. His efforts have been far from satisfactory, with 14 sacks in his four starts and a 2-2 record this season.
