NFL: Jets Fly Into San Diego And Shut Down The Chargers
|

San Diego (13-4) made its latest ignominious exit from the NFL
post-season Sunday, wasting numerous scoring opportunities and bending
just enough defensively in the second half of the New York Jets' 17-14
victory in the AFC divisional playoffs.
With star running back LaDainian Tomlinson possibly leaving the team after the season, this may have been the last shot of getting to the Superbowl with the duo of L.T and Patrick Rivers.
The second-seeded AFC West champions hadn't lost in their last 11
games since mid-October, yet this defeat didn't even seem to be much of
a surprise to the fans who grumbled nervously through the low-scoring
first three quarters before erupting in outright boos in the fourth.
It was San Diego's first home playoff loss since 2006, but its
second in seven seasons to the Jets. The Chargers were the only team
with a first-round bye who couldn't get out of the divisional round.
