Union-Tribune columnist Nick Canepa grades the Chargers after their season-ending 31-21 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City:
Quarterbacks: D+
Philip Rivers, rowdy and emotional after his first pass in perhaps his last game with this historic organization, began with short stuff, then stretched it out. Got picked (again) in the end zone throwing into double coverage, then on his final pass. Unfortunately, K.C. still had something to play for. He and his classmates weren’t good enough.
Running backs: A-
Melvin Gordon blocked for himself, but ran very hard on what almost certainly will be his final game with L.
