If the New England Patriots want to get their 10th win on the road on Sunday Night Football against the San Diego Chargers, they will have to ramp up their game on both sides of the ball.

Last week the Pats fell to the Green Bay Packers because the Packers' defense was able to disrupt Tom Brady's passing game by putting just enough pressure on him. To beat the Chargers and quarterback Philip Rivers, the Patriots' offensive line will have to play much better than it did a week ago and re-establish a strong running game.

As has been the case during this six-game stretch against some of the NFL's elite quarterbacks, the team that controls the line of scrimmage and keeps the other team's offense off the field the most will prevail. Look for the Patriots to do just that against the Chargers.

Be sure to follow all of the pre-game and game action right here on the Blimp 102.9 all weekend. Opening kick-off is at 8:30 p.m. and this should be a good one. Go Pats!
