#80: Monday night football

Football is back and It's monday night football on prime time. The Oakland Raiders at home against the San Diego Chargers. It's always fun to watch these two teams play.

The Chargers seems rusty as they got dominated by the more aggressive Raider for most of the game.

The game is a sleeper until two minutes left in the fourth quarter when the Raiders made a touchdown on 4th and 15 to go up 20-17. Raiders fans went crazy and it looks like the Raider will finally break 11 consecutive loses to the Chargers.

But two minutes is an eternity in football (or any sports). The charges made 9 plays in 85 yards capped  by the 5 yard run by the diminutive running back Darren Sproles (this guys is just 5-6 but runs like a dynamo) to make the final score 24-20.

A good start for the Chargers. Although it seems that LaDainian Tomlison is no longer as dominating as before. I hope this time they won't choke when the playoffs comes.
