Marc Bulger was intercepted on his first two drives - by CBs Cletus Gordon and Antoine Cason.  Additionally DT Lamar Divens and LB Jyles Tucker each forced a fumble.  LB Tim Dobbins and Tucker were each […]

 Chargers 31, Cowboys 17
Following the 2nd play sack of Philip Rivers, he said his knee felt fine, allowing Chargers fans to breathe a collective sigh.  In fact, it’s almost as if he didn’t undergo surgery for his torn ACL in the off-season. Yay!!

First of all, I’m very impressed with the running game sans LT thus far.  Darren Sproles and rookies Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester all scored in the first half, illustrating the tremendous depth San Diego has on the ground.  The rest of the team looked decent for a first preseason game.  The DST was hot, […]
