a toll on both teams in Sunday's
AFC divisional playoff game. San

his right knee on a short pass
that Darren Sproles turned into
a 56-yard touchdown on the last
play of the third quarter.
Indianapolis lost safety Bob
Sanders, the NFL Defensive
Player of the Year, briefly with
a shoulder injury, while running

YAHOO Sports: Even
without LaDainian Tomlinson and
Philip Rivers, the Chargers made
sure the Indianapolis Colts
won't repeat as Super Bowl
champions.
Now San Diego must make sure
it doesn't repeat its last
performance at New England.
That will be especially
difficult without an injured L.T.,
who departed in the first half
with a bruised left knee, and
starting quarterback Rivers, who
went out in the third quarter
with a damaged right knee in the
Chargers' stunning 28-24 victory

As the Chargers will learn
Sunday, Colts safety Bob Sanders
has a habit of making his
presence felt in every game.
It's one reason why he won the
NFL's top defensive player

The San Diego Chargers are
right back where they were a
