Rivers a flowing
This is the type of game the Chargers expected of Philip Rivers all season.
Rivers, the San Diego quarterback, is picking apart the Baltimore defense, completing 21 of 29 attempts for 207 yards and three touchdown passes as the Chargers took a 29-14 lead midway through the third quarter.
Rivers, feeling pressure for having a league-high 17 turnovers and being among the lowest rated passers in the NFL, heard talkshow blather and "insider" rumors this week that he might be replaced by backup Billy Volek.
That didn't happen and Rivers is, at least so far today, looking like the quarterback that went to the Pro Bowl last season.
