A Happy Birthday for Philip Rivers - Nick Toney

Chargers Thankful for Home Crowd Contributing to Win - Ricky Henne
Philip Rivers acknowledged that they haven’t been as good as they’d hoped at home, going 3-3 on the season. But has noted that in the games the Bolts have won, the crowd played a big role.

Melvin Ingram's return energizes Chargers - Eric Williams
"We could have waited, but where he was -- the medical staff did an outstanding job with him," McCoy said. "And give Melvin a lot of credit for the way he’s worked. From the very first 30 seconds after he went down he said, ‘Don’t worry coach, I’ll be back. I’ll play next year.’ So give him and the medical staff all the credit in the world for the way they’ve worked."
