WOW! what an awesome game yesterday! I still can’t believe LT’s touchdown!!! blew me away! To bad Denver didn’t lose to KC, we would have that AFC West title secure by now. You also have to hand it to Philip Rivers, the guy was tough yesterday. Dude, I’m so pumped I already have sports betting odds on the Chargers beating Detroit next week. ANy word on Shawne Merriman’s knee? He got really banged up there and I can’t find any updates on that.
