San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers vs. the Miami Dolphins defense

[Kadiddlehopper]

The skinny: Rivers is having an outstanding season with 20 touchdowns, five interceptions while completing 68.3% of his passes. Miami's Ryan Tannehill remains inconsistent in his third, make-or-break season.
Why it matters: San Diego can't afford to fall off the pace with the Broncos, Patriots and 5-3 Colts in the race for the AFC's top seed. This is the 4-3 Dolphins' chance to beat a good team and show they're legitimate as an AFC wild-card contender.
Who has the edge: Rivers. He looks so unorthodox with that quirky delivery and Tin Man footwork. But he's a remarkably accomplished slider within the pocket. And Rivers might have the league's fastest delivery. The Dolphins defense had a strong Week 8 with a pair of pick sixes by safety Louis Delmas and cornerback Brent Grimes. But that was against overmatched Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Blake Bortles. Rivers is a different animal. And he's going to be fired up since few outside of San Diego are paying attention to his strong season.

The D has been taking care of business, not in the least worried about them.

This is a bottom line business. The phins haven't beaten a team with a winning record since week 1. They have lost the past 2 home games to teams with winning records. If they don't pull a win out today, they are just another middling team.
San Diego is a good (not great) team. If the Phins believe they are a good team, they should prove it.

That's all great but the chargers have lost 3 games also, so I would imagine that the defense isn't as good eh? Please don't make this team is more than what it is, good team, good quarterback, good receivers, and beatable.
