team. 13. . 5-9. . San Diego Chargers. 25

Qualcomm Stadium certainly didn’t feel like a home venue for the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

No, fans of Oakland poured into San Diego and watched the now-AFC West-leading Raiders topple the Chargers 19-16 in what had to seem like a road game for quarterback Philip Rivers and Co.

Rivers was OK, but he got no help from San Diego’s ground game.

At least San Diego can feel pretty good about holding Oakland’s high-flying offense to a mere four third-down conversions on 13 attempts.
