SAN DIEGO -- The Chargers are the biggest flop in the AFC, losers of five games to teams that still have losing records, and out of the playoffs for the first time since 2005.But don't tell quarterback Philip Rivers, or coach Norv Turner, that Sunday's contest in Denver is meaningless.
"The phrase, 'Game doesn't mean anything' bothers me more than anything, because it means something to play in this league and play this game," Rivers said on Monday.
"I've never been involved in a meaningless game," Turner said, and won't Raiders and Redskins fans get a belly-laugh out of that one.
So, Rivers will start in Denver, and Turner will hope that history doesn't claim his franchise player.
Five years ago, in a meaningless, er, low-interest game against the Broncos, Chargers quarterback Drew Brees suffered a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder. The Chargers then, like now, had been eliminated from the playoffs when Brees was stripped of the ball and, while trying to recover it, was landed upon by Broncos safety John Lynch.
