Rex Ryan is rolling. The rookie head coach for the Jets, who declared that his team was a Super Bowl favorite after figuring out his team was still in the post season, is only one win away to prove his psychic powers. Ryan’s Jets are still in the playoffs. Rookies Shonn Greene and Mark Sanchez led the Jets to a 17-14 stunning upset of the Chargers in Sunday’s divisional playoff game. During the fourth quarter, each of them provided a touchdown marking another post season shortfall for San Diego.

The Chargers are heading into the playoffs with a winning streak of 11 games, mostly due to their backup players. Jim Zorn is facing being fired after the Redskins lost yet another game. With 35 seconds remaining Billy Volek connected with Mike Tolbert, fullback, on a touchdown pass of 2 yards to rally the Chargers to their 23-20 win on Sunday over the Redskins in the last game for Zorn as Washington’s head coach.

San Diego got their bye for the first round and Philip Rivers still has a perfect December record. Tennessee lost their bid to make NFL history along with their dream of a post season. They looked more like the team starting out their season at 0-6. Philip Rivers passed for two touchdowns and LaDainian Tomlinson had two running touchdowns, as the Chargers defeated the Titans on Friday night 42-17 and became the No. 2 seed in the AFC and got a bye in the playoffs first round.

By the time San Diego was able to breathe, they had clinched the AFC West title for the fourth year in a row and pulled a dramatic win out over a grieving Bengals team. Late Sunday afternoon at Qualcomm, it was crazy there for several minutes. With three seconds remaining Nate Kaeding booted a field goal of 52 yards, and San Diego rallied to defeat the Bengals 27-24, who just 51 seconds earlier had gotten a field goal from 34 yards from Shayne Graham to tie the game.

Rivers went 21 for 32 for a total of 272 yards passing and had one touchdown. It was the 100th touchdown of his career. His interception was the first for him in five games. Gates had 44 receiving yards, passing the 1,000 yard mark for the second time, while Jackson had seven catches for a total of 120 yards.

Tomlinson stiff-armed the Hall of Famer from Cleveland from the eighth position on the NFL’s all-time career rushing list. He also scored the 150th touchdown of his career on a run of 4 yards as San Diego won their seventh consecutive game and 15th straight in December with their 30-23 defeat of the Browns on Sunday. Tomlinson was able to fulfill a dream from childhood when he moved past Brown. It started out playing touch football games in Texas.

On Sunday, San Diego scored four times on turnovers during their 43-14 victory over the Chiefs, running their winning streak up to six games in a row. Two touchdowns were scored by LaDainian Tomlinson and he also moved into 10th place on the all time NFL rushing list. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers connected with Antonio Gates on two touchdowns, as San Diego improved their record to 8-3. Kansas City (3-8) lost one week after they stunned the Steelers, defending Super Bowl champs, with their overtime victory.

LaDainian Tomlinson just did what he always does versus Oakland. It was the first time Shawne Merriman got to break his “Lights Out” spasmodic sack dance out since 2007. For the Chargers, it was just business as usual. Tomlinson scored two touchdowns, one from the Wildcat formation, as San Diego defeated Oakland on Sunday 24-16. It was their 13 win in a row versus the Raiders, the longest active winning streak in the NFL of one team against another.

On Sunday, no matter which quarterback was thrown out there by the Broncos it didn’t matter. The surging Chargers were able to bottle up both a hobbled Kyle Orton and rusty Chris Simms. A dominant Chargers defense and Philip Rivers gave San Diego sole possession of the AFC West’s top spot with their 32-3 thrashing of Denver, who wasn’t able to effectively move the ball behind either one of their quarterbacks on Sunday.
