The Chargers (6-7) forced three turnovers, including two interceptions by Manning,Vapormax Plus Nere, who spurned the Chargers in the days before the 2004 draft. The Chargers took him anyway with the No. 1 pick overall, and then swapped him to the Giants for Rivers and a handful of draft picks.
Two of Rivers' three touchdown passes went to Keenan Allen, who continues to blossom as a rookie. Allen has 61 catches 鈥?a club rookie record 鈥?902 yards and five touchdowns.
