The Chargers were thoroughly dismantled by the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs Sunday, 41-28. The Patriots led 38-7 at one point before the Chargers made it somewhat respectable.
In a game that was all but over at halftime, fans were left to wait for next season, hoping that it will be the one in which the Bolts get over the top. Within those questions lied the ones about the futures of Chargers legends Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates.
It’s tough to see a player as competitive and as passionate about the game as Rivers get so close but have the ultimate goal always seem so far away.
