The San Diego Chargers will travel to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX to play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. San Diego lost its preseason opener 24-17 to Seattle, while Dallas beat Denver 24-23 in dramatic fashion, scoring a touchdown and two-point conversion with 15 seconds left in regulation.

Chargers’ QB Philip Rivers played like he was in midseason form on Thursday, completing 5-of-6 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Backup QB Billy Volek looked average, going 6-for-10 for just 39 yards. For the Cowboys, QB Tony Romo didn’t see too much playing time and threw just five passes, completing three of them for 33 yards. Back-up QB Stephen McGee played most of the game and impressed many, going 14-of-24 for 208 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. The Chargers have good depth in their running game and at the quarterback position which makes SAN DIEGO a good preseason pick to beat the Cowboys.

The FoxSheets show a preseason trend favoring the Chargers.

Rivers threw his touchdown pass to Mike Tolbert, who in his third year out of Coastal Carolina, surprised everyone when he rushed for 735 yards and 11 touchdowns. Tolbert and second-year back Ryan Mathews continue to fight for the starting running back spot. Third on the depth chart is former UConn star Jordan Todman who looked good, rushing the ball six times for 30 yards and catching four passes for 21 yards.

The Cowboys’ top rusher Felix Jones looked explosive on Thursday night, gaining 23 yards on only three carries and gaining 16 yards on his one reception. Young receiver Dwayne Harris, looked very impressive, catching five balls for 127 yards and two touchdowns, including a 76-yarder to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Harris will be fighting for the third receiver spot behind Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. Expect Jon Kitna to get some more reps on Sunday in a backup role to Romo.
