Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
The Chargers came out on fire in this one, jumping out to a 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Titans were never able to recover from their terrible start.
Tennessee's offense was completely out of sync for all but one drive, the defense was porous in the secondary and struggled to make tackles.
Chris Johnson's struggles continue: he finished with 15 yards on seven carries. and Jake Locker showed the inaccurate version of himself many Titans fans feared.
The Chargers are now out to a 2-0 start for the season and have looked great at times, but still struggle with spells of ineptness.
That's all folks. The Chargers won this one going away and are now 2-0 on the year. The Titans fall to 0-2 and things don't look in line for a turn.
Q4 1:17 - SD 38 - TEN 10
Chargers decide to go for it on fourth and goal and pick up the touchdown on another Battle run. Twelve straight runs and eight-plus minutes off the clock on the drive.
Battle and Brinkley are eating up the Titans' defense. The Chargers are inside the Tennessee five-yard line. I smell touchdown.
... and three-and-out for the Titans offense.
It was no secret the #Titans would struggle in their first four games. So what's with the shock and outrage? These teams are way better.

The ruling on the field is overturned. Brown's arm was down before the ball crossed the goal line. Cue up a Jackie Battle dive over the top for a touchdown. The Chargers are no worse for their wear.
Q4 10:57 - SD 31 - TEN 10
Touchdown Chargers on a short pass to Ronnie Brown. That was a very methodical drive by San Diego. The play is, however, under review.
Malcolm Floyd strikes again. He now has more than 100 yards on the day.
Through two games for the Titans, I don't think I've ever witnessed so many missed tackles.
Anyone have Dante Rosario on their fantasy team? ... No? I had the same problem when he burst on the scene for the Carolina Panthers.
Before the #Titans TD, they'd gone 3-and-out 4 straight drives. #Chargers defense playing well overall.

Q3 2:30 - SD 24 - TEN 10
Jake Locker and the offense strike quickly with a bullet to Kendall Wright for a touchdown.
Lavelle Hawkins with a 71-yard kick return, gives the Titans the opportunity to respond quickly.
Q3 3:34 - SD 24 - TEN 3
Dante Rosario hauls in his third touchdown catch of the day. That may be the final nail in the coffin for the Titans.
Malcolm Floyd has punished the Titans with timely receptions. He has four catches for 74 yards on the day.
A huge blown coverage by the chargers secondary results in nothing but gasps and sighs as rookie tight end Taylor Thompson just misses the catch.
We have our first Kenny Britt sighting of the day on a five-yard hitch route.
Yo CBS, is Dennis Quaid really “one of America’s most favorite movie stars?” No, he probably isn’t.

LBs Zach Brown and Will Witherspoon come up gimpy on consecutive plays. Neither appears to be serious.

Locker continues to struggle with accuracy on his short passes. CJ?k still makes the grab, but is stopped short of the first down.
The Titans will receive the ball at the the start of the second quarter.
Neither team has been able to the run ball at all. There has been a total of 62 yards rushing when combining both teams' rushing totals.
So with the Chargers' defense falling into a slumber, the first half will end with San Diego leading 17-3.
Sam Bradford 23 pass attempts in first half. There were times when it seemed like Jeff Fisher's teams in TN didn't throw 23 times in a month
