I remember by the start of the third quarter there were no Chargers fans left in the stadium. Before the game started the Chargers Defense led by Junior had a rag doll dressed up like Drew Bledsoe and they were stomping and kicking it on the sideline........I was on the 50 yard line and I went up and talked smack to them all the whole fourth quarter! Great memory and a great game!I remember we went to SD in 1996 for a Sunday nighter and I thought for sure we were in trouble. They ended up waxing them 45-7. It was a huge road win and that's when I really thought, wow, look out, we got something here. Drew threw for 4 TD's and the D came up with 4 INT's. SD had a solid team and had been to a SB 2 years before and were 7-5 and we were 8-4. We had gotten smoked at home like 2 weeks before by the Broncos and I just thought no way. I was stunned how we dismantled them in prime time.
I was there in the nosebleed section... there was a fourth and goal from inside the one yard line IIRC, Pats stuffed them. I never felt the stadium shake like I did that day....There was another game in the late 70's I believe at Foxboro with Grogan and Fouts. Charger offense was putting up huge yards and points against everyone. The Pats defense just smothered them in this game. I'll need to look that one up to get specific details.
Coldest game I've ever been to.Lady T sulking on the sidelines wearing his helmet because he had a sprained something while Rivers played on a torn ACL in the AFCCG but damn that was cold.
