The Chargers defeated the Giants 21-20 on Sunday in a game that Philip Rivers admitted was special.
San Diego traded Eli Manning, taken with the first pick, to New York in exchange for Philip Rivers, the fourth pick.
"The draft thing, it didn't weigh into my process going in, but it is there," Rivers said.
After connecting with Vincent Jackson on an 18-yard, game-winning touchdown with less than a minute left in the game, Rivers sprinted down the field in celebration.
"Those authentic spazz-outs are the most fun," Rivers said. "This ranks up there, the playoff win in Indy [in 2008] and this one. It is a little special because you know that link's always going to be there." |
