Halftime Quick Hitters: Chargers Leading Seahawks 20-14 at the Half

The Seahawks travel south to face the San Diego Chargers in their first meeting since the 2010 season.

In the blistering heat, the Chargers took their first possession of the game down the field for a field goal, capping an eight minute drive.

Percy Harvin made his presence felt early, taking a carry 51 yards to the house late in the first quarter, though he was left mostly unused after that.

Russell Wilson salvaged a rough first half by leading a late touchdown drive, finishing the half with 113 yards and a score.

Seattle has not had much time with the football, as they have amassed just 168 total yards while holding the ball for just nine minutes total.

Phillip Rivers was efficient against a tough Seahawks defense, hitting Antonio Gates for two second quarter touchdowns giving him a 18/22, 188 yard and two touchdown stat line.

Going up against Richard Sherman, Keenan Allen has caught four passes for 44 yards to this point.

Gates' touchdown scores were his 88th and 89th of his career.

Stat to keep an eye on: The time of possession is hugely in San Diego's favor at 21 to 9. With field level temperatures reaching 100 degrees, Seattle is going to need to get their defense more rest in the second half.
