The San Diego Chargers (10-3) had a very good fourth quarter to help them fight off the Dallas Cowboys (8-5) on Sunday.  It was all tied up at 10 going into the fourth quarter, but Philip Rivers and the Chargers went up by 10 with under 2 minutes to play to put it out of reach for the Cowboys.  The Cowboys did score again, but there was no time for a full comeback effort with only seconds left.  LaDainian Tomlinson helped eat up some clock in the fourth and finish the game with a touchdown and 50 rushing yards on 21 carries.  It was LT’s 10th rushing touchdown of the year, making that nine straight seasons with at least 10 rushing scores for him.

The defense played Tony Romo and the Cowboys’ offense very well, especially in the first half.  They held them to only 3 points in the first half and stuffed Marion Barber three straight times at the goal line.  They did give up too many rushing yards, with Barber and Felix Jones combining for 98 yards on 24 carries.  With the offense scoring an uncharacteristic low amount of points, the defense did a good job holding off the Cowboys.
