Coming off a loss the after a winning 5 games in a row, the Bolts start slow and got behind a 17-0 lead with 6:40 left in the 2nd quarter, but Rivers stepped up for this drive with a 56 yard passing touchdown to put his team on the board.


After the touchdown the Vikings get possession of the ball but the Chargers defense came in clutch with interception from Jason Verrett that started a phenomenal game for him and a miraculous comeback for his team.

At beginning of the second half with a score of 20-10 Vikings, the Chargers received the ball and couldn’t convert in a 4th down, after that Julian Guerrero decided to bench Rivers after going 5/16, 126 yards, 1td. And went with Paxton Lynch.

Vikings took possession but the defense made a play once again with another interception from Verrett.

With another possession the Chargers and Lynch scored on a long pass from Lynch to Keenan Allen to make it a 7 point game.
