As the Chargers potentially play out the string of home games in San Diego, they realize that they may once again see plenty of fans of the opposing team. And it sounds like quarterback Philip Rivers has gotten used to it.

“You appreciate the fans of ours that are there,” Rivers said this week, via Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune. “Certainly it’s not their fault. I’ve always understood, even going back, years back — certain teams have a bigger following, and if you had to pick a road game to go to, San Diego probably would be the one I’d pick, especially late, in November or December.”

Rivers realizes there’s one way to ensure that Chargers fans will be louder than Bears fans on Monday night.

“If we play well, shoot — the Detroit game, Cleveland, we go it going pretty good and we had a heck of an atmosphere,” Rivers said. “So, it’s our job to play well and find a way to win.”

The Detroit and Cleveland games are the only ones the Chargers have won all year, and those teams have a combined record of 3-14. The Chargers otherwise are 0-6.
