Chargers 35, Broncos 27
This is twice in two weeks where the Chargers fell behind early, only to rally and win in the second half. For as easy as Marty Schottenheimer makes it to criticize him, you have to give him credit for making necessary adjustments at halftime. Not every NFL coach does that, in fact, a lot of them don’t.
After reaching pay dirt in the second half, LaDainian Tomlinson became the fastest player to reach 100 touchdowns in a career. The guy is phenomenal to watch on a weekly basis. Tomlinson scored four times tonight (three rushing, one receiving) and may single handedly take San Diego to a Super Bowl. I realize Philip Rivers and the defense are playing great too, but Tomlinson can carry a team by himself.
This has to be a tough loss for Denver. Not only do the Broncos lose a game in the standings, but they also fall at home, where they have regularly owned San Diego. Jake Plummer wasn’t a disaster, but he was far from good. His forth quarter interception and last second fumble essentially sealed the deal for the Chargers. Okay, so he was a disaster.
