The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to get to 5-2 on the season with a win over the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.

The Titans are a team that the Chargers have owned over the years. In fact, the Bolts have taken 10 of the last 11 meetings dating back to 1993, all the way back to when the Titans were known as the Houston Oilers. This time, that win will have to come overseas.

The Chargers will be facing the Titans at Wembley Stadium in London, their second trip across the pond as part of the league’s International Series.

The Titans are coming off an embarrassing shutout loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will be hungry to pile up the points on the Chargers. They were flying high after knocking off the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in overtime, but since then, have lost back-to-back games to the Buffalo Bills and Ravens.

They’ll have to defeat the Chargers to avoid a third consecutive defeat.

The Chargers’ arrow is pointing in the other direction after winning their last three games over the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns. Though none of those teams is among the elite in the league, the Chargers have done what they were expected to do.

They’ll be expected by most to beat the Titans too.

For the Chargers to make it four wins in a row, they’ll need to first make sure they don’t overlook a capable Titans team and then follow these keys to victory.
