The coach for the Chargers, Norv Turner said that they intended to get the ball away from the Eagles as soon as possible in the game.
The plan succeeded as Vincent Jackson was able to divert the attention of the Philadelphia Eagles strictly to the middle of the field. The Eagles did not give him any space and marked him almost up to the end of the game, allowing the Chargers to make some quick passes. The San Diego Chargers intended to take advantage of the aggressiveness and speed of the Eagles and find a way around their defensive skills.
