Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:01:47 PST

The Chargers now play the season anew, being the chased instead of the chaser.

How will they handle it? How does any NFL team handle it?

After their dramatic rise to overtake the Broncos with a five-game winning streak, might the Chargers stub their toe—like the Steelers and Bengals the week before?

Careful, men, distractions lurk. This being the team's big 50th anniversary splash and such, don't overlook the surging Chiefs.

"There's a lot going on around our team right now with the honoring the greatest Chargers," coach Norv Turner said.
