It’s not that they lost to the Patriots – the Chargers knew that was a possibility. But to be destroyed 38-14 in such a manner – outgained 407 yards to 201, turning the ball over three times, having Tom Brady complete 81 percent of his passes – left them astonished.

The New England Patriots reportedly used LaDainian Tomlinson’s comments earlier this week as motivation. But Tomlinson said last night he did not regret saying, “The Patriots live by the rule, ‘If you’re not cheating you’re not trying.’ ”

Tomlinson was limited to his worst numbers in five career games against the Patriots – 43 yards on 18 carries.
