| (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Chargers take aim at a fifth straight win when they welcome the Oakland Raiders to town this Sunday for a key AFC West matchup at Qualcomm Stadium. After dropping five of its first seven games, San Diego has once again set the stage for another strong finish. The Chargers won their fourth straight game this past Sunday, an impressive 36-14 rout over Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. The opportunistic Chargers picked off Manning four times, returning |

| and the team is one defeat away from being officially eliminated from the playoffs. Kansas City, meanwhile, has no such problems on its staff, as it sits atop the AFC West standings at 7-4. The only problem in Chiefs-land these days are the surging San Diego Chargers, who trail Kansas City by just a game in the division with a critical matchup on tap between the two in Week 14. First things first, though, and that is this week's tilt, in which the Chiefs will try to win their third straight game following a 42-2 |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Mike Tolbert's teammates affectionately refer to him as a bowling ball. It's a fitting description for the 5-foot-9, 243-pound running back who's kept the San Diego Chargers' ground game rolling while rookie Ryan Mathews recovers from a high ankle sprain. Tolbert has run for 609 yards and nine touchdowns, and keeps his teammates amused with his end zone dance. It's been a pretty good season for a guy who entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie out of Coastal Carolina in 2008. There's a c |

The reigning AFC champs head into this week's play having lost three of their last four outings and were just handed their worst home defeat of the Peyton Manning era, an error-filled 36-14 beatdown by the surging San Diego Chargers in which Manning threw four interceptions. Fortunately for the Colts, no one's been able to take full advantage of their rare hiccup. Tennessee, once viewed as the most likely heirs to Indianapolis' throne, is saddled with a stressful four-game losi |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Although the San Diego Chargers have denied that they've agreed to sell a minority stake to billionaire Philip Anschutz, there are still more questions than answers about the team's possible relocation to Los Angeles. Chargers attorney Mark Fabiani issued a carefully worded statement late Tuesday night denying a Toronto radio report that Anschutz ``has or will purchase'' 35 percent of Southern California's only NFL team.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -An attorney for the San Diego Chargers has denied a report by a Toronto radio station that billionaire Philip Anschutz will buy 35 percent of Southern California's only NFL team. The report immediately elevated speculation that the Chargers could be headed to Los Angeles. Sports and entertainment powerhouse Anschutz Entertainment Group has proposed building an NFL stadium in downtown Los Angeles.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The San Diego Chargers say they've sold enough tickets to lift the local TV blackout of Sunday's game against the rival Oakland Raiders. Three of the previous five home games this season were blacked out. The Chargers (6-5) have won four straight games after a 2-5 start and trail Kansas City by one game in the AFC West. One of those early losses was 35-27 at Oakland on Oct. 10. The Raiders (5-6) have lost two straight to fall into third place in the AFC West.Copyright © 2005 The Associ |
