SAN DIEGO — Maybe this is the reason it is called a wild-card game.
LaDainian Tomlinson (http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NFL&id=561), the NFL rushing champ, runs for 42 yards. Antonio Gates (http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NFL&id=611) is carted off in the second quarter with a toe injury.

And there's that little San Diego Chargers habit of losing home playoff openers. The writing was on the wall for another deflating finish.
Yet Philip Rivers (http://fantasyfootball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NFL&id=1813), walking wild card, refused to let this happen.
