SAN DIEGO (AP) The San Diego Chargers finally found a way to win, and not surprisingly, the Philip Rivers-to-Antonio Gates connection was a big reason.
Gates will be honest – so was some luck.
The Chargers beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-25 Sunday to snap a six-game losing streak.
Gates caught two of Rivers’ four touchdown passes, both late in the second quarter. The second one was set up by Manti Te’o’s interception.
What changed from the previous six games?
”Probably some luck,” Gates said Monday. ”We got some turnovers. Manti’s interception was very nice. It gave us the opportunity to score points, which is a major focus, getting points on turnovers.”
Now the Chargers (3-8) prepare to host Brock Osweiler and the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos (9-2), who rallied to beat New England in overtime Sunday night.
