I knew they could do it! They had their number earlier in the year and they did it again today! The San Diego Chargers upset the Indianapolis Colts in a 28-24 victory that came down to the wire at the RCA Dome. Shawne Merriman and Antonio Cromartie were key in the defense against Peyton Manning, both making big plays when it really counted. I was truly worried when LaDainian Tomlinson went out of the game and even more pessimistic when Philip Rivers had to be sidelined – but the rest of the team made me a believer! I take back every less than flattering statement I have ever uttered about Norv Turner! He really is an NFL coach that deserves respect.
Next up, San Diego faces a challenging match-up in New England against the steamroller Patriots. They have weak spots; they just need to be exploited. The Chargers defense has as good of a chance as any to shut down the Pats offense. I know I’ll be having a heart attack or nervous breakdown through every play in the game. And to think, I thought the Chargers were done halfway through the season!
Special note to Peyton Manning: don’t fret my friend, you already have a ring and an exceptional career in commercials!
