San Diego (9-7) – Injuries and player departures could not sabotage the offense or the defense, which led the NFL in yardage. But treacherous special teams (four blocked punts, four opponent return TDs) did. The Chargers did not make the playoffs despite QB Philip Rivers’ 4,710 yards passing, 30 TDs and 66% completions. Three running backs combined for 1,800 yards rushing and nearly 900 receiving. Pro Bowl TE Antonio Gates was a best with 50 catches and 10 TDs in 10 games. Four different WRs averaged more than 17 yards per catch.
