[NBT]

If IF and BUTS were candy and nuts, what a wonderful Christmas it would be.

L.T. with a one-yard TD late in the first quarter to make it 7-3 Chargers.

Rivers to Gates for 36 Yds...TD...Tennessee challeges... Replay confirms!...TD!

XP good - SD 14, Titans 3 with 8:46 left in the second.

2nd VY turnover. Between the flags and TOs, the Titans are really helping out the Texans here.

and I love it.

[HPF Bob]

A 52-yd TD pass is overturned by penalty but the Chargers shrug it off and march down the field anyway... TS pass to Sprout...XP good.

Chargers 21, Titans 3 3:13 left in the second qtr. If the Titans can't score before the half, this one can be put on cruise control.

Same ol' Oilers. Hey Bud! This finger's for you!

Should it work out this way, and the Broncos and Texans both finish 9-7 we would tie in conference record, leading to a head to head breakdown, in which we would tie at 3-2 apiece. That leads to a strength of victory tiebreaker. The Broncos are +5 points in those 5 games. We have played 4 of the games, with New England yet to be determined. We are currently +20. Any victory over the Patriots and a finish of 9-7 would give us a tiebreaker victory over the Broncos, thus if the scenario of dreams plays out and Baltimore loses out along with the Steelers losing to Miami would give us a berth.

Vince comes to life and scores just before half. This one's not over yet.

Chargers 21, Titans 10 as halftime approaches.
