Chargers QB Philip Rivers finished the season playing hurt. Everyone knew that he wasn’t 100%, but few understood the extent of the injury. Rivers sprained his foot in the regular season finale, and aggravated it in the playoff loss to the Patriots. It was serious enough that he apparently would not have been able to play in the AFC Championship game had the Chargers advanced.
The Chargers will still send a league-high nine players to Hawaii for the game, and they appear to be loaded for bare to make a run at that elusive Super Bowl title in 2007. If you’d like to see how it plays out, go to StubHub.com and choose from available Chargers tickets.
