At various points this season, kicker Adam Vinatieri looked washed up. No moment embodied the four-time Super Bowl winner's struggles more than the Week 10 game against the Chargers. With the Colts trailing 23-21 with just under two minutes to go, Vinatieri honked a 29-yard field-goal attempt. And for a guy who was money from, well, anywhere on the field during his 10-year New England career, ...BREAKING: Chargers to face the Patriots in AFC Championship Game!

Might as well go ahead and chalk up New England in the Super Bowl if you hadn't already done that after Week 9.No LT? No Problem As Turner And Co. Highlight Chargers’ 28-24 Upset Of Colts

I think it is safe to assume the following: that the Indianapolis Colts will not repeat as Super Bowl Champions, and that the San Diego Chargers are a team that the New England Patriots better take very, very seriously. Even without running back LaDanian Tomlinson and quarterback Philip Rivers plus some stout pass rushing, the Chargers managed to find their way into the win column Sunday, upsettin
