The battle for bragging rights in Los Angeles heats up this week as the Chargers make the short trip to SoFi Stadium to square off against the Rams in preseason action.

So far, the Chargers’ defense has been the talk of their camp, clamping down on opponents and giving up just 20 points in two games. Their pass rush has been firing on all cylinders, with undrafted gem Caleb Murphy stealing headlines after racking up multiple sacks against the Saints and earning high marks from coach Jim Harbaugh.

The Rams, on the other hand, gave up 21 points to Dallas, though their starting defense held its ground respectably. The biggest gap might lie in the reserves — the Chargers seem to boast more depth in their defensive rotation, a factor that tends to tip the scales once preseason games hit the second half.

Here’s everything you need to know about the matchup between the Rams and the Chargers, including TV channel and streaming options for the preseason game.
