Of course it wouldn't be a truly holy day without a few pilgrimages to the holy land. AP PJ had touchdowns of 1, 64, and 46 yards. Two of them were far more exciting than the third. The loser in the situation (aside from the Chargers defense) is Cleveland's Jamal Lewis who saw his old record fall by the wayside. The convicted felon responded brilliantly with four ...
