Jason Verrett, Hunter Henry ready to respond

It's trial by fire for rookie Henry, who's been filling in for an injured Antonio Gates.

Jason Verrett could not sleep.

He was back in San Diego from Indianapolis. Hours earlier, the Chargers had set parts of this town cheering and shouting, as they lost a game decided in the final 90 seconds. The city had fallen quiet now. It was 1 a.m. Monday, and the cornerback was awake in bed, reliving each play, each catch allowed — and that last one, oh, that last one.

The hour stretched to 2 a.m. Then 3.

It was going to be a long night.
