Sunday Morning Smackdown


On Sunday October 25th the Chargers played like a team possessed. They marched into Arrowhead Stadium and crushed the Kansas City Chiefs 37-7. San Diego’s offense ran up and down the field all day long. Charger QB Phillip Rivers had a great game with 268 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. Running Back Ladanian Tomlinson had 23 rushes for 78 total yards, and had a TD called back on a substitution penalty. Defensive coordinator Ron Rivera had his guys ready to play. Chargers D’ had four sacks and three key interceptions. Fullback Jacob Hester blocked a punt and pounced on the ball in the end zone for the score. Chiefs QB Matt Cassel looked like he was playing JV football. He threw for 97 yards one score and three picks. Chiefs Running Back Larry Johnson contributed with 49 rushing yards on 16 attempts. Chargers finally had a great game offensively, but still had trouble scoring in the red zone. Chargers scored only one time in four opportunities near the KC goal line. When the Chargers correct this problem I believe they will finally be a playoff team, but for now let’s enjoy a great win.
