I was up early this morning to catch the replay of the San Diego @ San Fran game.
San Fran blew a '21 point lead' which they held 2X in the first half.
This game perfectly illustrates that aspect of a game deemed getting the breaks and making key 3rd and 4th down plays. Making the spectacular 'clutch catch's'. Over the top too many things had to go the Chargers way and they did.
The thing that stood out to me was how much different these two teams were in another important quality.
The will to win......... and San Diego certainly had that.
San Diego is the BEST Road Team in the NFL (over the last two seasons in December) winning about 80% of their games on the road.
Philip Rivers (and maybe not 100% healthy) was clutch last night.
Rivers to Antonio Gates - 7 Receptions for 92 yards and 2 TD's..... was shining as well.
Eddie Royal was spectacular. He had 10 Receptions for 94 Yards and 1 TD. He made an incredible diving and digging it out 20 Yard catch on a fourth down late in regulation to keep the last drive alive to enable the eventual tie..

Former ** CFL player WR Dontrelle Inman was able to replace injured Keenan Allen and show up in the second half of the game with a 7 reception night on 9 targets ....good for 79 yards. This was the first action for him and he looked solid.... sure handed....and ran good routes.
This was a game I'll remember.
There are GEMS out there !
** Dontrelle Inman (College Virginia - 2011 Undrafted) was a solid WR with the Toronto Argonauts (CFL) in 2012 - 13.
