San Diego Chargers Power Rankings - 2013
| Power Rankings | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 5 | 2-2 | 17 | Philip Rivers connected on nine of 11 throws deeper than 10 yards downfield for three touchdowns Sunday. Four Chargers had multiple catches on those throws, something the team never did last year. | |
| Week 4 | 1-2 | 19 | Is Philip Rivers good or not? Only Peyton Manning has more passing touchdowns, one year after Rivers' 42 Total QBR ranked 30th among qualified quarterbacks. Hosting Dallas is a good test. | |
| Week 3 | 1-1 | 16 | Philip Rivers showed up in a big way Sunday. Rivers was 7-of-9 against extra rushers in the fourth quarter, including the crucial TD to Eddie Royal. | |
| Week 2 | 0-1 | 26 | Philip Rivers was 1-of-7 with a pick-six in the fourth quarter Monday night. Including last year, Rivers' 7.7 fourth-quarter QBR is less than half of any other QB. | |
| Week 1 | 7-9 | 24 | With limited offensive weapons and seven defensive starters gone from Week 1 last season, new coach Mike McCoy faces a transition year. | |
| Preseason | 7-9 | 23 | The Chargers helped themselves with a solid draft, but they still need a proven left tackle to protect Philip Rivers' blind side. (Fox) | |
