Chargers Clinch #3 Seed

The San Diego Chargers defeated the Oakland Raiders to clinch the third seed in the playoffs this season.  They will face the Tennessee Titans this Sunday at home.  LaDainian Tomlinson won his second straight rushing title as Norv Turner won in his return to Oakland, and may have salvaged his reputation as a successful NFL coach in the process.  The Chargers underachieved early in the season, but they are now riding a six game winning streak into the playoffs, and they get to play a team they defeated in Tennessee during that win streak in their first postseason game.

I almost don’t want to talk about the game at all.  I feel that saying anything might jinx it, so let’s focus on the year that was, rather than making any prognostications.  The Chargers have recovered from their horrific 1-3 start to become the best team in the AFC that isn’t a) still undefeated or b) the defending Super Bowl Champion.  This is quite an accomplishment.  Still, how much will it matter if Norv can’t get the boys ready for their first playoff game?  We all know what happened last year.  This season is far from over for the Chargers, who have a legitimate shot to make a run at the Super Bowl.  Get your playoff tickets now!
