Chargers vs. Vikings 2015 live stream: Start time, TV schedule and how to watch online

It took him a game to shake off the rust, but Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is back in top form. The San Diego Chargers will be tasked with stopping the man who carried the ball 29 times for 134 yards and also caught two receptions for 58 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 2.

Peterson didn’t have a perfect day, fumbling the ball twice against the Lions. One of those fumbles was lost, and it was just one example of Minnesota’s less-than-perfect execution on the offensive side of the ball this season. Peterson was stuffed in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, putting up just 31 yards on the ground and 21 yards in the air. The Chargers will certainly be looking at that game for a blueprint on how to stop him.

Then again, the last time Peterson took on the Chargers in Minnesota, he rushed for an NFL-record 296 yards. Minnesota won that game, 35-17, but that was in Nov. 2007.

This time, Peterson will be facing a San Diego team that hasn’t looked great against the run overall this season. Against the Lions in Week 1, the Chargers held Ameer Abdullah to 50 yards rushing and the team to 69 yards overall on the ground, but in Week 2 the Cincinnati Bengals were able to run over them at will. Giovani Bernard carried the ball 20 times for 123 yards, and as a team the Bengals rushed for 175 yards in total.

San Diego’s defense as a whole has been spotty. Andy Dalton and Matthew Stafford both tossed multiple touchdowns, though Stafford also threw a pair of interceptions. Dalton didn’t have any picks,hitting his receivers for three touchdowns en route to a win in Week 2. The Chargers have shown plenty of their own life on offense, rallying to put up 30 consecutive points to beat the Lions in their opener -- Philip Rivers threw for more than 400 yards in that game.

Chargers rookie running back Melvin Gordon hopes to be the feature back for that offense for years to come, though he’s had his struggles. He only averaged 3.6 yards per carry against the Lions in Week 1, though he did manage 88 yards on 16 carries in Week 2, a per-carry average of 5.5 yards. He’s not breaking games just yet, but the Chargers like what they’ve seen thus far and he could be a big factor against a Vikings team that allowed Carlos Hyde to rumble for 168 yards in Week 1.

One thing the Chargers need to do better on offense is protect the ball. They’ve given up the football six times on turnovers, second-most in the whole league. That’s six times through just two games, which is an insane number. Rivers has thrown three interceptions and there have been three fumbles. They have to clean that stuff up if they hope to win any games going forward.
