SAN DIEGO (AP) – The San Diego Chargers know how fortunate they are to have Philip Rivers as their quarterback.
Otherwise, they almost certainly would have lost at San Francisco on Saturday night and been eliminated from the playoff chase.
Rivers brought back the Chargers from a brutal first-half performance to lead a rally that resulted in a 38-35 overtime victory.
If the Chargers win at Kansas City on Sunday, they’re in the playoffs.
Rivers overcame three interceptions and a 21-point halftime deficit to finish with 356 yards passing and four touchdown passes.
Says coach Mike McCoy: ”As long as we have time on the clock and we’ve got Philip Rivers, we’ve got a chance to win.”
