The Chargers beat the Seahawks in Seattle on Christmas Eve. They scored a touchdown in the last 29 seconds of the game to win 20-17. Phillip Rivers had a bad day passing the ball but he made two touchdown passes to Vincent Jackson when he most needed them, especially the 37 yard game winner.
LT was held scoreless even though he ran for 123 yards. He did have a 45 yard touchdown run called back because of a facemask penalty on Kris Dielman.
Shawne Merriman had a huge day with 3.5 sacks, the last one coming on the final Seahawks drive when they were trying to get within field goal range to tie up the game.

Chargers vs. Chiefs - Game 14
On Sunday Night Football, the Chargers beat the Chiefs at home, 20-9. LT had another two touchdowns to extend the NFL season TD record to 31. His second was an 85-yard touchdown run, the longest of his career. He set two more NFL records last night, he broke the 40+ year old record for points in a season and now has a record 8 multiple touchdown games in a row.
Besides LT, the biggest star of the game was the defense which held Larry Johnson to only 84 yards and kept the Chief's offense out of the end zone all night. They also had a nice pass rush with 6 sacks.
The only bad part of the night was that Phillip Rivers had his worst game of the year. He threw for less than 100 yards and had two interceptions. I am sure he will bounce back next week.
