The San Diego Chargers were able to rally back from a 21-3 deficit to beat the Detroit Lions in Week 1 of the 2015 NFL season. One Charger stuck out the most and is named the SuperCharger MVP.

The quarterback is the most important position on the field and it was no different over the weekend for the Chargers. This week’s MVP was Philip Rivers. He completed 35/42 passes for 404 yards and 2 touchdowns. Not a bad day for all of our fantasy football experts out there.

SportsCenter reported that it was Rivers 7th career 400 passing yard game.
