Chargers Throw for 500-yards but Packers Prevail in Gritty 6th Win

It was another ugly win for the Green Bay Packers, though it did propel the Packers into the bye week a perfect 6-0 on the season.

With the Packers being heavy favorites to beat the Chargers this week – a 9 point deferential was the highest projected in week 6 – someone forgot to give the memo to the San Diego Chargers. Not only did they not roll over and give up to the rolling Packers, they were combatant on offense, on defense and on special teams from the get-go.

QB Philip Rivers remarked before the game that they knew they were underdogs, they knew they would have to manage the clock and keep Rodgers and Co.
