Chargers Seek Statement Win Over Surging Colts
The Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) are set to host the Indianapolis Colts (5-1) in a Week 7 clash with major AFC implications. Both teams have been impressive to start the season, but the Chargers have a chance to make a statement against the league's hottest team.
Chargers Aiming to Bounce Back
After a mini two-game losing skid, the Chargers were able to get back in the win column last week with a victory over the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Justin Herbert continues to put up big numbers, but the defense has been a concern at times. This week, they'll face a balanced Colts attack led by running back Jonathan Taylor and veteran QB Daniel Jones.
Colts Riding High
The Colts have been one of the bigger surprises of the NFL season so far, racing out to a 5-1 record. Their stingy defense and Jones' steady play have powered their surge. Wide receiver Ladd McConkey has also emerged as a key weapon for the Colts' passing game, coming off back-to-back strong performances.
Injury Updates
The Chargers' injury report bears watching, as running back Hassan Haskins is listed as questionable with a chest issue. Meanwhile, star pass-rusher Khalil Mack has a chance to return after missing time with an arm injury. The Colts have a few key players banged up, including cornerback Darrell Williams.

- The Chargers host the surging Colts in a Week 7 clash of AFC contenders
- Los Angeles looks to bounce back after a mini skid, while Indy aims to continue its hot start
- Colts QB Daniel Jones and RB Jonathan Taylor lead a balanced attack against the Chargers' defense
