Chargers arriving full with injuries to play the Patriots for the AFC championship

 

The Chargers still don’t believe themselves, they defeated the defending NFL champions and now are going for the AFC championship game against the Patriots, but there is a low point to his story, as Philip Rivers is injured with a sprained right knee that he suffered in the third quarter when he landed in a perilous way just after completing a 56-yard pass to Darren Sproles for a touchdown against Indianapolis.

San Diego is not arriving to this game in the best of conditions as coach Norv Turner is not sure about Rivers playing, and Antonio Gates who dislocated his left big toe in the game against the Titans is not at his best shape either, we can also sum up to this that two-time NFL rushing champion LaDainian Tomlinson is also coming from an injury and might not play at his best.

Rivers left the game against the Colts after completing 14 of 19 passes for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns, then Billy Volek took on the quarterback task and scored the winning touchdown.

Even though the Chargers are a big underdog against the undefeated Patriots, they think they are in better shape than when they fell to New England in the second game for the regular season.

"Obviously it was a long time ago from week two, but it's still going to be a heck of a challenge, and it's just a great opportunity to get a chance to play against possibly the greatest team to ever play." Tomlinson said.
