Chargers-Saints is the wild shootout most thought it would be.

It’s 14-14 midway through the second quarter after Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers hit Dontrelle Inman on a 57-yard touchdown pass.

At the midway point of the second quarter, Rivers is 8-of-8 passing with two touchdowns and Drew Brees is 12-of-15 with one touchdown. Brees is playing in San Diego for the first time since signing with the Saints.

Rivers has had a lot of open receivers. So has Brees. There are plenty more touchdowns to come.
