Philip Rivers punches bird during Monday Night Football

The Chargers seemed to have Monday night’s game under control after rookie Josh Lambo kicked a go-ahead, 54-yard field goal with 2:56 left.

And he did by a matter of inches sealing the victory for the Steelers as time expired. Players had the day off Tuesday, with injured players checking in at Chargers Park for treatment and rehabilitation. I’ve shaved my head bald, shaved my beard into a mustache (yes, it looks stupid), shaved my chest hair into a lightning bolt*, and am wearing a Philip Rivers Chargers blue home jersey.

“We knew coming into the week if it ever came down to a play where we have to have it, we were going to go to that wildcat play”, Bell said. In that game, Michael Vick had one touchdown pass, no interceptions. We have two teams here that only go as far as their quarterbacks, and they’re gunslingers who throw the ball a ton and put up big numbers.

Now it was Rivers turn to lead his team back. Gates joined Tony Gonzalez as the only tight ends with 100 career touchdown receptions. The Steelers have the third best NFL record for Monday Night Football games, 42-24.

“Every loss is tough”, Rivers said, via the team’s website. “It was a great call”.
