Rivers' chess match with Asomugha a top Week 13 matchup

Philip Rivers vs. Nnamdi Asomugha

Asomugha is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL and teams don't throw many passes to his side. He played safety in college and plays with toughness and aggressiveness. He is very aware and plays best in press coverage. He has good hands to make interceptions. Rivers is very smart and can feel pressure coming from the rush, much like Dan Marino did. You can't allow him to get comfortable. If Rivers is going to try and beat Asomugha, it has be a route in which the receiver runs a double-move.
