Chargers Fall To Cowboys In Preseason
(AP) -- Philip Rivers doesn't ease up, even in a meaningless exhibition game.
The San Diego Chargers' $93 million quarterback chased Dallas Cowboys safety Barry Church for about 70 yards before making a touchdown-saving tackle after a turnover on Saturday night. He even popped the ball loose, although the play had been whistled dead.
The Cowboys (2-1) scored three plays later to tie the game, then went on to win it 16-14 on a safety with 3:46 left to play.
Chargers rookie quarterback Jonathan Crompton was sacked by Victor Butler, who forced a fumble at about the 5-yard line. The ball rolled into the end zone and was recovered by San Diego rookie left tackle Ryan Otterson.
Rivers' big play stood out in a game that was otherwise a stinker.
