COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The battle for L.A. this Sunday between the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers offers an opportunity to see two of the most explosive offenses in the NFL at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Chargers are tied with the Denver Broncos for the most explosive plays -- rushes of 15 yards or more or passing plays of 20-plus yards -- through two weeks with 17, while the Rams are tied for fifth with 13.

"We've had plenty of those," Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. "Some of those have been short throws and long runs. Those have been just fine, too. It's been really good."

Led by a 15-year veteran in Rivers, the Chargers are No. 3 in the league in total offense (445 yards per game) and No. 3 in passing yards (329 per game).

While the Rams, led by third-year signal-caller Jared Goff, are averaging 33 points per game -- No. 5 in the NFL.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, Goff averages 6.7 yards after catch (YAC) on his completions, the highest rate in the NFL, while Rivers and Blake Bortles are tied for second at 6.2.

Both Rivers and Goff focus on being a point guard on the field at the quarterback position, getting the ball out on time and into their playmakers' hands.

With Rivers and Goff meeting for the first time during the regular season, the 36-year-old veteran quarterback said he has been impressed with the development of his counterpart.

Rivers has seen the "comfort level" Goff has in the offense and knows that last year "they scored a ton of points."

"He seems to fit well in that scheme too," Rivers said. "They're doing a lot of things to move him around in games you've seen that keeps him on the move. Shoot, he's going to be one of the young guys that you imagine is going to be around a long time."

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn echoed Rivers' sentiments about Goff. Lynn said he played in a similar scheme to Rams head coach Sean McVay's latest iteration of the West Coast offense as a player with the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, and believes Goff is a perfect fit.

"I grew up in that system," Lynn said. "He's executing it right now really well and moving around a lot. He's throwing on the move. He's more of an athlete than what people give him credit for. He can move the ball down the field with his legs as well."

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Goff said he watched Rivers and admired his style of play.

"He's a guy that I've definitely watched and tried to steal things from, the way he plays the game and the way he works," Goff said. "I've heard nothing but great things about him from the people who've played with him."

While Goff made the Pro Bowl and led the Rams to the team's first NFC West title since 2003 last season, McVay seemed unwilling to compare the Cal product to a player with the pedigree of Rivers.

"You're talking about two really good quarterbacks," McVay said. "We're very hopeful that Jared's going to continue to progress, and we've got a lot of confidence in him, but you're talking about a guy that's had nine straight, 4,000-yard [passing] seasons and is surefire Hall of Famer.

"So I think we have a long way to go if we're talking about that, but I know we feel like Jared is on the right track. We certainly feel like we're in good hands with him leading the way and have a lot of confidence in him."
