Chargers Secure Home Field

December 31, 2006

The Chargers made it interesting today, but they held on to defeat the Arizona Cardinals, 27-20, to secure home field advantage in the AFC throughout the playoffs.  The Chargers will have next week off and await the lowest seed to advance from the Wild Card round next weekend.

The Chargers did have a few nervous moments, though, as Philip Rivers appeared to injure his ankle early and may not have been able to come back in if Arizona had gotten any closer.  We’ll know more about his condition tomorrow, but it’s probably a good thing that he has two weeks to heal.

The Cardinals cut the San Diego lead to 7 points as the game wound down, but elected to kick off instead of attempting an on-side kick, and that was pretty much the game right there.  Kurt Warner gave the Chargers’ defense some work to do, though, as he passed for 356 yards.

Regardless, the road to the Super Bowl in the AFC runs through San Diego, and if you’d like to see it unfold live, go to StubHub.com for NFL Playoff tickets.
