Game Notes

Chargers hold off the Cardinals for a 28-24 win.

San Diego survives after leading 28-0 before a furious 2nd half rally by St. Louis. The Chargers escape when Earl Ferrell is unable to hang onto a 4th down pass at the 1-yard line with less than :20 remaining. Neil Lomax had rallied the Cardinals, hitting 32-of-61 passes for 457 yards and 3 TDs.

San Diego threatened to make it a blowout early as Lionel James returns a punt 81 yards for a TD, and then Gary Anderson adds a 5-yard TD run before Dan Fouts hooks up with Wes Chandler for a TD pass and James adds a 7-yard TD run before halftime.

However, St. Louis takes advantage of turnovers, and is able to cut the lead to 28-24 when Lomax hits Stump Mitchell for a 17-yard TD pass w/ 1:48 to play. After a 3-and-out, the Cardinals get the ball back and drive inside the 10-yard line before the rally stalls.
