Good morning. Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report talks with outside linebacker Dwight Freeney, who believes the San Diego Chargers have all of the pieces in place to compete for a Super Bowl in 2014.

That statement might surprise some observers around the NFL, but other San Diego veterans like Antonio Gates have expressed similar sentiment about the Chargers. Still, while the Chargers look talented on paper, they have to prove it on a weekly basis on the field.

Freeney: “This is one of the most talented teams I’ve ever been a part of. We have some real depth on defense. This team is stacked. The biggest thing we’re trying to do is be more consistent. We’re going to play well against the good teams. Don’t worry about that. But we need to play better against the teams that aren’t so good.

“We’re a Super Bowl team because we have the right mentality. There’s a feeling on this team that this is our time.”

The Chargers are three-point underdogs at Arizona, according to most Vegas odds makers -- basically a pick ‘em.
