No Monday night magic for Favre as Chargers pick up first win

It was only the first quarter and things already looked incredibly bad for the San Diego Chargers. After forcing the Jets to punt on the first possession of the game, Chargers' QB Philip Rivers lined up in the shotgun formation on a 3rd and 5 from San Diego's 20-yard line. Then he handled the snap poorly, rushed a pass and threw a strike to Jets' DB David Barrett, who returned the miscue 25 yards for a touchdown. Just like that it was Jets 7, Chargers 0. But Rivers and the Chargers eventually settled down, got the offense rolling and harassed Jets' QB Brett Favre. The end result was a 48-29 beat down in which the Chargers scored 31 points in the first half alone. Rivers finished 19 of 25 for 250 yards and three touchdowns, while LaDainian Tomlinson bounced back from a poor outing last week to rush for 67 yards and two scores. It was obviously a huge win for the Bolts because not only was it their first of the season, but it also showed that they have some fight...
