Denver certainly hasn't been cooperating with that scenario, jumping to the division lead at 5-0 while watching the Chargers stumble to a 2-2 start. An intense rivalry is renewed Monday night at Qualcomm Stadi |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The San Diego Chargers already are at a crossroads just four games into the season. Some might even suggest they're in deep trouble. Physically beaten up by the lowly Oakland Raiders in the opener, the Chargers have limped to a 2-2 record going into their bye weekend. Being .500 at this point might not be that big a surprise, considering that the Chargers played three straight playoff teams from last year, including the two teams that played for the AFC championship.
