CARSON —
This won’t be the football year that Philip Rivers makes his first Super Bowl, unless his team picks up the pace.
The Chargers, through three games, look like just another middling NFL team, despite sharp work from receiver Keenan Allen, the return to form of Joey Bosa and betting-line favorite status entering all three games.
As for Rivers, the San Diegan who’s in his 13th season as the starter, he’s playing well for the most part, but also has made a critical turnover in each game.
And for the offense he directs, seldom scoring in the second half has become the biggest problem.
