Good Knight, Chargers
Rialto's Sammy Knight stepped in front of a Philip Rivers pass with 1:26 left to stop a Chargers drive for a potential tying touchdown. Knight juggled the ball as he fell to the ground but a booth review confirmed a catch. Knight secured both the ball and the Jaguars' 24-17 lead. It was Knight's third interception of the season.
Meanwhile, Rivers ended with a passer rating of 67.6 despite passing for more than 300 yards.
If there's a silver lining for the 5-5 Chargers, it is that Kansas City lost to Indianapolis on a late field goal to fall to 4-6 and the Raiders (2-8) fell to Minnesota, with Chester Taylor doing the running damage.
The other AFC West challenger (4-5), Denver, plays host to Tennessee on Monday night. With a win, the Broncos would move into a tie with the Chargers atop the division.
