San Diego's passing game is predicated on their receivers getting past opposing team's safeties, which will lead Philip Rivers to test rookie Earl Thomas. "They've got a real style about them," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Thomas has played well in his first two games. His 15 tackles lead the team, but he hasn't had any chances to show off the range and instincts that made him the 14th pick of the draft. "I've got to come in the game with a different mindset," Thomas said. "Because I really haven't gotten challenged deep so far."
