JACKSONVILLE, FL (12/5/11) – The San Diego Chargers kept their faint playoff hopes alive on Monday Night Football, defeating Jacksonville 38-14.
Philip Rivers threw for three touchdowns as the Chargers improved to 5-7, two games behind Denver and Oakland in the AFC West. The Jaguars (3-9) fell in their first game with Mel Tucker in charge, after the firing of Jack Del Rio last week.
Kevin Harlan and Dan Fouts called the game on Westwood One Sports.
