yahoo sports: INDIANAPOLIS - Gone — Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Adam Vinatieri and the rest of the Colts. By stunning Indianapolis, the San Diego Chargers just knocked off New England’s biggest road block to the Super Bowl. Now San Diego must avoid a repeat of its last performance at New England.
That will be especially difficult without an injured LaDainian Tomlinson, who departed in the first half with a bruised left knee, and starting quarterback Philip Rivers, who went out in the third quarter with a damaged right knee in the Chargers’ stunning 28-24 victory Sunday.
With Billy Volek at quarterback and Michael Turner as the main runner, San Diego went 78 yards on eight plays, with Volek sneaking in from the 1 with 4:50 remaining for the lead. The Chargers’ big-play defense then held on downs at its 7, and stopped Indy again in the final moments to preserve their eighth straight win.
