Patriots: Matt Light (pictured, left), Logan Mankins, Dan Koppen, Stephen Neal, Nick Kaczur, Russ Hochstein, Ryan O'Callaghan, Wesley Britt (pictured, right), Billy Yates
Chargers: Marcus McNeill, Kris Dielman, Nick Hardwick, Mike Goff, Jeromey Clary, Scott Mruczkowski, Cory Withrow, Shane Olivea

The Patriots are excellent up front and the unit's communication and grit will be tested against an aggressive Chargers pass rush. If there was one player who stood out last week, it was right guard Neal, who on multiple running plays delivered bruising blocks. The former collegiate wrestler plays with terrific balance and is athletic enough to pull.
