SAN DIEGO — The streaking San Diego Chargers aim for their fourth straight win Sunday against the visiting New York Jets, who are currently on the opposite end of the spectrum.

But Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said the team’s even-keeled approach this week has been telling.

“I like where our attitude is,” he said.

Much of it derives from Rivers playing at an MVP level this season, adding his nine touchdowns against just one interception and 70 percent completion rate to other intangibles.

The Chargers are looking for third straight home win. One of those in the run was against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, adding to the club’s swagger.

The team is playing with confidence despite an injury list growing by the day.

It is figuring out how to win — see Rivers — and figuring out that it feels pretty good.

But Rivers isn’t looking past the Jets, even though they have lost three straight.

“You may have known it from the confidence being there,” Rivers said of the Chargers. “But no one is relaxed and thinking it is going to be easy to win another one. That’s a positive.”

The reeling Jets are surrounded by negatives, and that’s always the case when there is uncertainty at quarterback. The Chargers will get a struggling Geno Smith, or a second-string Michael Vick, at some point.

Rivers’ point is that while the Chargers are playing well, it is not going to their heads. They get to prove it against a Jets team searching for consistency on the offensive side.

On the defensive side of the ball, it is another story.

The Jets’ 3-4 alignment, with coach Rex Ryan’s influence, is a tricky test, even for a quarterback on top of his game like Rivers.

“They are all over,” Rivers said. “They never let you get comfortable. There is never a pattern of why or when they call things. You have to ready on every snap for something to surprise you.”

Partly because of that defensive tenacity, Rivers doesn’t think the Jets will sneak up on the Chargers.

“They look good,” Rivers said. “We got our work cut out for us and it’s good where it is, at home.

“There is something about playing the Jets.”

Lately, that something has been pretty one-sided.
