The Streaking Chargers!

After the Colts lost over the weekend, the Chargers is officially the NFL's hottest team with the 10-game winning streak. The Chargers won their 10th straight game by destroying the red-hot Tennessee Titans on Christmas day.

Many believed that the Chargers' defense, who have been vulnerable for most of their games this season, could hurt the team's chances in the playoffs. However, the defense showed on the Titans game that it they can make big plays. They stopped Chris Johnson and Vince Young at key moments in the game. I've said it before and will say it again, I love this "bend, but don't break" defense.

He threw for 264 yards and topped 4,000 yards passing for a second straight season. He directed the Chargers to TDs on six out of seven drives before leaving in fourth quarter. Rivers picked apart a Titans defense ranked next to last in the NFL in yards allowed.

  • San Diego safety Eric Weddle practiced fully Wednesday after missing the last couple of games with a knee injury and is expected to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
  • Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, formerly named Chad Johnson, wants to fight linebacker Shawne Merriman. The two apparently engaged in a Twitter war early this year. Earlier this week when asked, Merriman said he is going to try to not pay attention to Ochocinco this week but maybe difficult.
  • Phillip Rivers is not only a top candidate for the division MVP, but also in the running for whole NFL. If Rivers – who is undefeated in December in his career – finish the month strong, he will definitely get some votes. Rivers is the best player and is the leader of the Chargers. He has the Chargers, who are in an eight-game winning streak, playing at a very high level. This team is without question has taken personality of their quarterback.

Chargers Defeats The Browns 30-23!


Despite playing without three injured defensive starters, the Chargers did just enough to get through the Cleveland Browns and extend their winning streak to seven games.

The San Diego Chargers improved their record to 9-3 and still leads the Broncos by one game. The win also kept the Chargers on pace to earn the #2 seed and first-round bye in the playoffs. Although it wasn't a expectacular game, the Chargers did just enough to get by the Brown to prepare for a rugged stretch of their remaining schedule.

The Chargers offense played well again with Rivers throwing over 370 yards and Antonio Gates having over 160 yards receiving, but none had a bigger day than LaDainian Tomlinson. He did not have a huge game, but he made history by surpassing Jim Brown for eighth place on the NFL's all-time leading rushers' list. Congratulations LT....
