Chargers Need To Consolidate Their Break

Post image for Chargers Need To Consolidate Their Break

by Craig on November 12, 2009

The Chargers managed a memorable Escape From New York last week, and many on the team have called it a stepping stone victory.  All well and good, but before the Bolts get used to the view from atop that stone, they better realize their next step will be a doozy.  If the Chargers don’t back up their great road win with a home victory over the Eagles, then what did they really accomplish?

Norv Turner has been around the NFL long enough to not get overly excited about pulling out a “must-win” in Week 9:
