Rams 1st drive has been a complete disaster because Hill got intercepted by Flowers on an outside pass that has been to soft but SD hasn't been able to capitalyze it and they cameout just with a FG.
The Rams has been dominant the following drive rushing the ball showing good inside power even thanks to Chargers' soft front 7 but they got better in the goaline stand and let the Rams just tie the game with a FG.The Chargers put up a Great drive with runs and short passes that produced big plays but Rivers wasted everything throwing an interception right to CB Jenkins who returned it for 100 Yard to the Chargers end zone for the 1st Rams' TD. SD inability continue 'till the end of the 1st half that has been concluded with a Novak 48 yards FG but this Changed in the 2nd half when Ryan Mathews scored a rushing TD on a well designed draw out of the shotgun. The Chargers seemed to be going to end the game soon when their rushers put pressure on Hill and made him fumble the football recovered and returned into Rams' endzone by LB A.Gackhar. STL's offense completely unable to put a up good numbers and forced to punt the football again but against SD missed a great chance when a special team player run into Allen was called a fair catch and the result was Rams' ball and they didn't wait to punish SD's mistake scoring a rushing TD with WR Tavon Austin on a well designed end around. Rivers lead his team to the Rm' 20 yard line but Keenan Allen lost the ball tryin to do too much after a great catch and the Rams recovered it but they've been unable to punish again SD, so the Chargers had another chance to increase their lead, it started from their 7 yard line and Chargers' offense put on the longest drive of the season (93 yards) well finalyzed this time by Allen receiving TD thanks to the great job by Rivers to read as the best it can be done all the blitzes the Rams used on that drive. Hill answered great with a fast rive and the Rams has been score their 24th point of the game thanks to a Bailey receiving TD on a fade route in the end zone and under just by 3 they stop SD on a 3 and out an gave their offense the chance to tie or win the game even because Tavon Austin returned the ball on SD's 40 yard line. STL seemed to don't want jost to tie it but even to win it avoiding an OT against a very good offense like the Chargers' one and they were so close to do it when Kenny Britt cought an Hill's pass in SD's 3 yards but they wasted everything when Marcus Gilchrist picked Hill off in the end zone.
SD played a great game if you don't count the stupid mistake they made, similiars to the ones that cost they the game in AZ in week 1, to be SB contenders they MUST avoid to complicate their games by themself, for the rest they looked good especially with a tough opponest like the Rams, the same Rams who haven't able to capitalyze completely the Chargers mistake committing a bigger one at the end of the game when Rams' coaching stuff decide to pass on 3 yard line against a not so great 3-4 defense against the run all game long, by the way they nee to improve in QB position and also in blitzing and putting the pressure on opposite QB's. Another great news for the Chargers is that Mathews cameback great and if he'll stay healty their running game is one of the best in the NFL.
My MVP for this match is Mathews counting that he played against a very good defense against opponest RBs.
