The new Chargers

Full Story Here: "SAN DIEGO -- Say goodbye to the old San Diego Chargers. You've got to like these new guys.

The old Chargers would have lost Sunday's AFC West showdown against Denver in any number of ways. The fourth-quarter fade pass by Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer that was tipped by cornerback Drayton Florence would have gone into the hands of Rod Smith instead of Chargers defensive back Jerry Wilson.

Drew Brees
Drew Brees and the Chargers have won six straight games.
In the old Chargers days, referee Ron Winter would have ruled that there was inconclusive evidence to oveturn a third-quarter play in which Broncos cornerback Kelly Herndon tipped a Drew Brees pass off the ground to safety Kenoy Kennedy, who ran 95 yards for an apparent touchdown. The new Chargers actually got the right call. Winter sided with the Chargers. That wouldn't have happened in the past."
