The Chargers have five players who were selected for the Pro Bowl but I think they would rather play the next week in the Super Bowl.  28-year old QB Philip Rivers played awesome football all season long earning this reward.  He has played in 15 games this season for the Chargers and he has completed 308 of 471 passes (65.4%) for 4,155 yards with 27 TD passes and 9 INTs (104.5 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 26 times for 50 yards (1.9 ypc) with 1 TD run this year.  29-year old TE Antonio Gates is going with Rivers to Miami.  He has played in 15 games this season for the Chargers and he has caught 78 passes for 1,145 yards (14.7 avg) with 7 TD grabs.  28-year old guard Kris Dielman has done a great job for the Chargers this season both protecting Rivers and blowing open some impressive holes for the RBs.  Dielman is a big guy at 6′4″, 320 pounds and he has started all 15 games for the Chargers this season.  27-year old kicker Nate Kaeding will also be making the trip to Miami as he has turned in a excellent season for the Chargers.  He has made 29 of 32 field goals (90.6%) this season and he has made 48 of 49 extra points good for 135 points.  29-year old Kassim Osgood has made the Pro Bowl as the special teams player.  He has played in 15 games this season for the Chargers and he has 12 tackles.  The Chargers hope that they will be able to scratch these five players from the Pro Bowl so that they can play in the Super Bowl the next weekend.
