Oh, they did. We wrote before game one that the Chargers are better this year, and this kind of win supports our early claim.
The GOOD
- Chargers won a close game: The kind of game they have lost more than won over the last five years.
- Chargers Defense bent, bobbled and boo-boo’d but in the finale, did not break. Chargers’ D made just enough third down stops to win – but by a whisker.
- Philip Rivers de-pantsed a high-ranked pass defense, getting about 190 yards of his 300+ yards in four plays.
