Chargers celebrate playoff berth, turnaround under Harbaugh

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In Week 14 of last season, the Los Angeles Chargers were surrounded by fans in their home stadium chanting for the firing of their former head coach, Brandon Staley, amid a disappointing season.

A little over a year later, the Chargers saw what that felt like from the other side.

As Los Angeles steamrolled the New England Patriots 40-7 Saturday to clinch a playoff spot, the small contingent of New England fans left in the stadium began to chant "fire Mayo," referring to Patriots coach Jerod Mayo. It was just the second time New England had lost by 30 or more points at home in the past century.
