Drew Brees and his Saints (2-2) were upset by the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night in Week 2. The Chargers (1-3) will be hoping their rookie quarterback phenom, Justin Herbert, can pull off a similar task in Week 5. The game is scheduled to be played in New Orleans at the SuperDome, but it could be moved due to Hurricane Delta.

Brees long ago locked up his spot in the Hall of Fame, but this will serve as a revenge game of sorts against his first NFL team. Herbert is just getting his NFL career underway after being a top-10 pick out of Oregon. Herbert’s 931 passing yards through his first three starts are the second-most in NFL history, behind just Cam Newton. The Chargers will especially need Herbert on Monday night after losing stud running back Austin Ekeler to injury in Week 4’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Running back could wind up the story of the game if Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray keep making their case as the best one-two RB punch in football. Kamara’s speed and pass-catching combined with Murray’s powerful running style have made the New Orleans offense a tough one to stop through four weeks.
