JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Playing on his 38th birthday, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers celebrated by helping lead his team to a cathartic, 45-10 road win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
After three straight frustrating losses against AFC West rivals, the Chargers exorcised some demons by thoroughly handling the Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field, improving their record to 5-8 on the year.
Rivers was efficient, completing 16 of 22 passes for 314 passing yards and three touchdowns. In doing so, Rivers eclipsed 3,500 passing yards for a 12th straight season, the third-longest streak in NFL history.
