Good morning.

On the strength of quarterback Philip Rivers' 404-yard passing performance against the Detroit Lions, the San Diego Chargers have the NFL's top-ranked offense heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Chargers lead the league with 483 yards of total offense, with the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 2 (464 yards) and the Dallas Cowboys at No. 3 (436 yards).

The Chargers moved up three spots to No. 10 in the ESPN NFL power rankings. San Diego faces a tough test on the road in a Cincinnati defense that ranks No. 3 in the NFL, holding the Oakland Raiders to 246 yards of total offense in a 33-13 win.

My take: According to John Breech of CBS Sports, the Bengals are 16-3-1 in their last 20 games at 1 p.m. ET -- including 9-1-1 at home -- with Andy Dalton at the controls on offense. So Sunday’s game could be an uphill climb for the Chargers.

ESPN NFL Nation Bengals beat reporter Coley Harvey writes that Cincinnati defensive coordinator Paul Guenther wants his unit to have the same mindset approach to this week’s contest against the Chargers as they did last year in an impressive Week 2 win over Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons.

“Rivers is a hell of a player,” Guenther said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for him. He’s tough, he’s competitive, he don’t take no [stuff]. He’s like a linebacker.”

My take: The Bengals are known for playing fast and physical, and will try and bully San Diego’s offense.

Nick Hardwick and Jordan Beane of Chargers.com break down Ladarius Green’s 13-yard touchdown reception against the Detroit Lions in this video.

My take: Hardwick provides some good insight into River’s anticipatory skills, along with his ability to get San Diego’s offense in the most effective play.

Tom Krasovic of The San Diego Union-Tribune says the Chargers have an advantage over Cincinnati at quarterback in an early look at the Bengals.

My take: While I believe that’s true, the Bengals remain tough to beat at home, particularly if they take care of the football. The Bengals are 62-14-1 under Marvin Lewis when they have a plus turnover differential.
