Gene and the Eagles were racking up a ton of yards on a rainy Philly night and had a 16-3 lead against the baffled Chargers with 13:26 left in the game. With 4th and 3 on their own 35 yard line the Eagles punted to the Chargers. The punt returner Coleman fumbled the punt as he was laid out by the Eagles Woodward. However, in the most freakish played I have ever seen with this game, the Chargers Davis scooped up the fumble and returned it for a 93 yard TD fumble recovery to give the Chargers life down 16-10. With only 9:15 left in the game, the Eagles had the football down to the Charger 12 yard line and were about to put the game away when Ricky Waters fumbled the ball on a hit by Junior Seau at the 8 yard line and the Chargers recovered. The Chargers moved the ball out to their 26 yard line when Stan Humphries hung in the pocket and completed a 61 yard TD bomb to Tony Martin giving the Chargers a startling 17-16 come from behind lead. The Eagles were stopped on their next possession and Humphries called on Jefferson for a 44 yard TD pass to seal the deal making the final score SD 24 PHIL 16. Great game called by Gene! The Chargers go to 3-0 and the Eagles fall to 1-2.
