The Los Angeles Chargers started the game on offense in a two tight end set, and the first play of the game Philip Rivers found Hunter Henry running down the seam for a 1st down. Despite the initial success throwing early, Ken Whisenhunt immediately ran Melvin Gordon up the middle on consecutive plays to put the offense behind the sticks in a 3rd & 9 situation near midfield. Rivers found Travis Benjamin open underneath, but Benjamin dropped the pass to bring on the punting unit.
