TEAMS: Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers
Tight end Dante Rosario had three touchdown catches for the first time in his NFL career and San Diego's defense harassed Jake Locker all afternoon as the Chargers beat the Tennessee Titans for the ninth straight time, 38-10 Sunday.
Before the game, the Chargers (2-0) retired Junior Seau's No. 55. Seau, the hard-hitting, first-pumping leader of the Chargers for 13 seasons, committed suicide May 2.
With Antonio Gates inactive due to sore ribs, the Chargers turned to Rosario and he responded with TD catches of 11, 4 and 15 yards from Philip Rivers. He had only five career scoring catches coming in, including a game-winner against San Diego in the 2008 season opener while with Carolina.
Rivers was 24 of 32 for 284 yards, Malcom Floyd had six catches for 109 yards and Rosario four catches for 48 yards.

Welcome To Week Two: Lucky I'm Sane After All I've Been Through
As I'm sure you've discovered by now, I was generally satisfied with what I saw on Monday Night in Oakland. There is a lot to improve upon, but the biggest thing is that I never felt like the Chargers would inevitably make an asinine play and lose. That speaks volumes after what we all suffered through last season. When we were 4-1, we all vented about how the team...
