Sunday’s five least valuable players, Week 2 - MJD
Mike Tolbert did a lot of really good things on Sunday, but there was one play I can't get past. In the fourth quarter, down seven and driving against a New England defense that hadn't forced a punt in three-plus quarters of game play, Tolbert stopped at the line of scrimmage, and then, well, things got weird.

It was one more example of how the Chargers couldn't stop groin-punching themselves all day long.
