Chargers' home opener a disappointment
by Bob Chan
The Chargers fought a rough game against the defense-strong Ravens, but Rivers almost single-handedly kept the short-handed Chargers in the game, throwing for a career-high 436 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, he also had two interceptions, and San Diego had to settle for field goals four times when it had the ball at the Ravens' 10 or closer showing how good the Ravens' red line defense was. Rivers tied Hall of Famer Dan Fouts for third-most passing yards in a game. San Diego was missing running back LaDainian Tomlinson, center Nick Hardwick, and right guard Louis Vasquezdue to injuries, and on Saturday put defensive tackle Jamal Williamson on injured reserve, meaning his season is over. The killers for the Chargers were their inability to score touchdowns and a bad decisions by Rivers.The Chargers got to the Ravens' 5, 2, and 1 in the first half, and had to settle for field goals by Kaeding each time. We play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday without #21 LaDainian Tomlinson, who is still out. After going eight regular seasons without missing a game due to injury he sits out his 2nd straight game
