Randy McMichael Is The NFL's Most Impatient Player
Early in the fourth quarter of San Diego's eventual loss to the Browns, the Chargers offense (ineffectual for most of the day) managed to scrape together the ten yards necessary for a first down and keep a possible game-winning drive alive.

If Ever A Moment Called For Facepalm, It's Philip Rivers Last Night
How do you blow a 24-0 halftime lead? Account for six turnovers, as Philip Rivers did last night in guiding the Chargers to a 35-24 final score, and you might just do it. To say it was laughable is an understatement, though most of us were, indeed, laughing. (Hopefully after the final interception—...

Cris Collinsworth predicted exactly how this game would end after noticing Jared Gaither lumbering before the final play, noting "Gaither looks lame, he's gonna have to get some help here or Wilson's gonna get a sack to end this game."

Atlanta Beat The Pants Off San Diego, In Just One GIF
Atlanta 27, San Diego 3: Matt Ryan threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns and the Falcons destroyed Philip Rivers and the Chargers.

Chargers 38, Titans 10: The Game In A Solitary GIF
Yeah. Not a whole lot went right for the Titans. Uh, no fumbles! That's pretty cool, right? Whatever. Chris Johnson had eight carries for 17 yards and everything is pretty sad on the Tennessee side so let's just not talk about the actual game. Here's something else to talk about: The replacement re...

San Diego State Head Football Coach Might Just Go For It On Fourth Down This Season
