How to watch Lions vs. Chargers: Live stream, TV information

The Lions and Chargers will open their 2015 NFL seasons on Sunday in San Diego.

Detroit will be led by a familiar cast of characters in 2015: quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receivers Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate, all Pro Bowlers. But Haloti Ngata will make his debut for the Lions at defensive tackle, following the departure of Ndamukong Suh to Miami in the offseason. Pro Bowl safety Glover Quin will lead Detroit's secondary, after posting seven interceptions last season. The Lions finished 11–5 in 2014, and lost in the NFC wild-card game to Dallas.

After signing a four-year, $84 million extension in August, quarterback Philip Rivers will look to lead the Chargers to the playoffs after a year hiatus. Rivers is two touchdown passes away from tying former San Diego-great Dan Fouts's record of 254. The team will be without star tight end Antonio Gates, who was suspended for the first four games of the season. Rookie running backMelvin Gordon will make his debut for the Bolts, as well as wide receivers Stevie Johnson and Jacoby Jones. The Chargers finished 9–7 in 2014.
