In Week 14 the San Diego Chargers beat the San Francisco 49ers. Here is an excerpt from the NFL.com recap:
“Philip Rivers looked at the 21-point deficit on the scoreboard at halftime and even he wondered whether the San Diego Chargers had it in them to come back. The season depended on it, so Rivers took charge.
He prevailed through a balky back and a sore chest to keep San Diego’s slim playoff chances alive, rallying his team to tie it in the final minute and setting up Nick Novak‘s 40-yard field goal nearly 5 minutes into overtime in a 38-35 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.
“Obviously, an unbelievable finish,” coach Mike McCoy said. “We had about as bad a first half as we could possibly play. … You saw a lot of emotion on the sideline throughout that second half – the excitement, the energy, the way we play football.”
Rivers found playmakers in Antonio Gates and Eddie Royal when two of San Diego’s offensive stars were down with injuries.
He completed his fourth touchdown pass of the day with a tying 11-yard TD pass to Malcom Floyd with 29 seconds left in regulation after completing a pair of fourth-and-longs as the Chargers (9-6) forced overtime.”
