"It was fun. It really was. It was fun to hear it from the crowd a little bit and step into a situation where we were behind and have the opportunity to go and try to win the ball game. We made a couple plays and got ourselves into position and didn't follow thru on it. For me personally, it was fun to step onto the field. As a team, this puts our backs against the wall now."

‘Henry had five rushes on the drive for 53 yards including a touchdown run from 26 yards out and the final margin, 20-13.’

‘It’s not that Brees was playing poorly. He had completed 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards and on a frigid, windy day in Buffalo that saw his counterpart, Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe, complete just 11 of 33 passes for 107 yards. It’s just that Schottenheimer was looking for a way to bring the Chargers back into the game, who reiterated after the game that Brees will be San Diego’s starter at Kansas City next week.’

Travis Henry: "Before the game we knew that we had to come in with a balanced attack. We knew that we had to run the ball on them because they play cover two at times and we knew when they gave us that look on defense we would be able to run the ball. We did well. The offensive line blocked well and when we had opportunities to run, we ran well."
