Favre finally loses to Chargers
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 09 - 2008

wrenching losses, the San Diego Chargers raced past nemesis Brett Favre and the New York Jets for a 48-29 victory Monday in a wild game befitting two original American Football League teams.
Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes, LaDainian Tomlinson scored his first two TDs of the season and San Diego finally got back at Favre after all these years. They sacked him four times and intercepted him twice, including a 52-yard return for a score by All-Pro cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
Favre always seemed to come up big on Monday nights with Green Bay. This night, though, he finally lost to the Chargers after beating them five straight times dating to 1993.
San Diego (1-2) looked like the team picked by many to reach the Super Bowl. The Chargers lost their opener to Carolina on the last play, then lost by one point at Denver in a game remembered for referee Ed Hochuli's blown call that set up the Broncos' winning score.
Tomlinson, the two-time defending NFL rushing champion, scored on a 2-yard leap to give the Chargers a 38-14 lead in the third quarter. He had been slowed since jamming his right big toe late in the Carolina game. He scored on another 2-yard run late in the fourth quarter, one play after Rivers' 60-yard pass to Vincent Jackson.
Rivers has thrown three TD passes in every game this season. He was 19-of-25 for 250 yards on Monday, while Tomlinson had 67 yards on 26 carries, his third straight game under 100 yards.
Favre had three touchdown passes for the Jets (1-2), including fourth-quarter TD throws of 4 yards to Chansi Stuckey and 13 yards to Dustin Keller. The 38-year-old Favre was 30-of-42 for 271 yards.
Saints lose Shockey
New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey will be out of action for up to six weeks with a sports hernia, a team official said on Monday.
Shockey, the team's second-leading receiver with 16 catches for 151 yards, will have surgery this week, spokesman Greg Bensel said.
