The defense held the Colts to three points and the Chargers clinched an AFC wild-card playoff spot with a 20-3 victory over Indianapolis.
NFL games have been a Christmas Day staple since 1971. Here’s a look at some of the most memorable games.“No, I did not because I know Derwin’s intent,” he said. “I thought that he tried to lead with his shoulder. It’s a play where they obviously laid the guy out, you know, in a tough position, which is their fault, not ours, and Derwin made an aggressive play.“We all know that Derwin’s not going to try to do that to anybody. We’ll have to look at it. But I know what Derwin’s intentions are.
For the third consecutive week, the Chargers won largely behind their defense. They took advantage of a reeling Colts team that had turned to veteran quarterback Nick Foles, who had started only one game over the last two calendar years. The Chargers’ Keenan Allen runs after making one of his 11 catches against the Colts. Allen had 104 yards receiving, his first 100-yard game of the season.
Morgan Fox , Tranquill, Khalil Mack, Kyle Van Noy, Kenneth Murray Jr. and Chris Rumph II all had sacks. James, Michael Davis and Asante Samuel Jr. each intercepted Foles.And the Chargers’ defense could be on the verge of another boost. Edge rusher Joey Bosa, who has been out since Week 3 because of a core muscle injury, is still expected to return before the end of the regular season.
