DENVER -- Mired in a late-season malaise, the Los Angeles Chargers need Philip Rivers to get going.
Rivers threw an interception on his team's opening possession for a third straight game. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the last quarterback to do that was Josh Freeman in 2009.
After throwing just six interceptions in his first 14 games, Rivers has six in his past three.
The 37-year-old signal caller finished 14 of 24 for a season-low 176 passing yards, with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams and two interceptions.
