The San Diego Chargers proved they can win meaningless games without LaDainian Tomlinson, finishing their exhibition season with a 16-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers to end the preseason 3-1. Tomlinson - who does not play during the preseason as a rule - will thankfully be ready, willing, and able to suit up versus the Chicago Bears in week one of the regular season at Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers and 49ers sat most of their starters on this day, pitting third string versus third string in an epic battle for the last five roster spots on each team.
The Chargers say they are ready for the Bears, and their actions back it up. Though you can’t really take much from a preseason win/loss record, the Chargers have played very well throughout the preseason, and most importantly, they showed stark improvement from game one to game three in their first-string execution. With a new coaching regime and a few new receivers, this is very good news for the Chargers. Now, with the regular season addition of LT, the Chargers should be ready to hit the ground running.
