Lord I Love Playoff Football: AFC Championship Edition

End zone: the area on either end of an American football field. See also: a place on the field the Chargers never saw in Foxboro.

No LT meant no win for San Diego yesterday in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots. Four times the Bolts got into position to reach the promised land but four times they had to send Nate Kaeding out for a field goal attempt. Even with Tom Brady looking very un-Bradyesque with three interceptions, you won’t win many games that way.

Credit the Chargers defense for keeping them in the game, though. In addition to the three picks, they forced the Pats to punt four times and held them to just 14 points in the first half. Too bad the offense never capitalized on it. (Is Norv Turner an offensive guru or defensive? I forget.)

So the Patriots continue their methodical, ceaseless march towards perfection with one game left to be played in Glendale, AZ. A rematch against the Giants, who nearly played them to a stalemate in the regular-season finale. I’m sure we won;t have to endure much hype over this one the next two weeks.
