San Diego rediscovered the end zone, took advantage of four more turnovers by the sad-sack Chiefs...

Yesterday, in perhaps his most prolific artistic contribution to society, our forefather Matt Ufford introduced us to Philip Rivers with a mustache, and it might be the only thing on this planet that makes King Laserface even remotely endearing at this point. Seriously, I just dropped his ass in a fantasy league for a bye week tight end. I’ve been starting Carson Palmer over him...

SAN DIEGO -- Following a game featuring two head coaches on the hot seat, San Diego's Norv Turner can breathe a little easier.

In case you weren’t masochistic enough to tune in for a weeknight game between two doomed head coaches, bad news: neither of them were summarily fired. Also, the game was kinda watchable for only a half and even that’s being generous. A stupid Philip Rivers interception let the Chiefs hang around longer than they had any right to, but Kansas City is full of polite Midwestern...

These two teams are becoming the laughing stock of the NFL and the losing coach literally might get fired on the way out of the stadium. If Norv Turner loses at home to the lowly Chiefs he has to get fired, right? We’re taking the Chargers -7. Yes...

Well, the Chiefs have still yet to hold a lead at any point in regulation this season. And neither Romeo Crennel nor Norv Turner were fired on the field during the first half. So little reason remains outside of direct rooting interest to tune into this game, yet the quality of the game hasn’t been anywhere as terrible as it could or deserves to be.
