CARSON, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers says the offense gets juice when Melvin Gordon churns out tough yards.
Gordon believes his Chargers are never out of it because Rivers can sling it around the yard.
On Sunday, Rivers and Gordon both leaned on each other in leading the Chargers to a 29-27, come-from-behind victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at the StubHub Center.
Rivers finished 25 of 39 for 250 passing yards, with three touchdowns and interception that 49ers defensive back Antone Exum returned for a 32-yard touchdown to start the game.
