It took the Chargers less than four minutes to put two touchdowns on the board and pull within a field goal of the Patriots.
Phillip Rivers didn’t waste the field position he received from his special teams after the onside kick recovery. Again tearing up the Patriots with passes down the middle, the Chargers converted a big fourth down and managed to pound the ball into the end zone after a first-and goal from inches out.
The Patriots will have a chance to run out the clock put the game away with a crucial drive, but if they make a mistake, the Chargers seem poised to capitalize.
