SAN DIEGO (AP) -It seems like it was in another lifetime. On Sept. 16, the San Diego Chargers headed into a rematch with New England, eager to atone for their epic playoff collapse against the Patriots eight months earlier. The Chargers said they had more focus than they did in the January game. But the Chargers weren't even competitive the second time around. They were schooled by Tom Brady and Randy Moss, made a bunch more mistakes and were routed 38-14 by a team fresh off the Spygate scandal. A lot ha |

The Chargers' four most important players - quarterback Philip Rivers, running back LaDainian Tomlinson, tight end Antonio Gates and nose tackle Jamal Williams - are all dealing with what have been well-documented, and will soon be nauseatingly over-documented, injuries. What's more, the Goliath that San Diego is facing Sunday af |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The euphoria of the San Diego Chargers' stunning win against the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts was replaced by reality Monday. While two-time NFL rushing champion LaDainian Tomlinson said he should be able to play in Sunday's AFC championship game, the Chargers know quarterback Philip Rivers will be gimpy with a sprained right knee if he's able to play against the undefeated New England Patriots. Rivers was listed as questionable. He injured his medial collateral ligament |

Now the 21st pick of the 2006 draft - nine spots before the Colts Joseph Addai - is waiting for the AFC championship game against the San Diego Chargers next Sunday and another comparison by which he falls short.

The last time the San Diego Chargers went to New England, they had Philip Rivers, LaDainian Tomlinson and a healthy Antonio Gates. They lost anyway, 38-14. The Chargers may have beaten the Indianapolis Colts 28-24 on Sunday without their top players, but they'll have a hard time keeping up with the unbeaten Patriots in the AFC title game if they're still out. The same thing seems true in the NFC, where the New York Giants will head to Green Bay after upsetting Dallas 21-17 with a banged-up secondary missin |

Volek led the Chargers (13-5) on an eight-play, 78-yard drive late in the fourth quarter, and his one-yard scoring plunge gave San Diego the lead with 4:50 left. Peyton Manning had two chances t |
