Chargers’ lack of power serves up victory to fish

If anything, the San Diego Chargers proved Sunday that Miami’s upset of New England nearly two weeks ago was no fluke. The Chargers became the second straight upset victim of the resurgent Dolphins, losing 17-10 in Miami. The usually explosive Bolts were held to their fewest points since the end of the 2005 season, when they scored only seven points a game in consecutive losses to Kansas City and Denver. San Diego came into the game leading the NFL with 34.5 points per game. Miami running back Ronnie Brown was up to his old tricks, taking a direct snap and running five yards for a touchdown to give the Dolphins a 17-3 lead in the second quarter. Brown had 24 carries for 125 yards, while his counterpart, LaDainian Tomlinson, was limited to just 35 yards on 12 carries. The loss kept the Chargers winless in six games at Miami since their playoff win in overtime in 1982. Philip Rivers brought the Chargers back on a 17-yard scoring pass to Chris Chambers in the third quarter, making it 17-10. But Tomlinson was stopped on a fourth-and-goal at the Dolphins’ 1 early in the fourth. “It was one of our favorite plays down there and we have been successful in doing it,” Tomlinson said. “They get paid too, and they did a good job of snuffing out the play.” Miami didn’t give the Bolts much time with the ball, owning the possession game 36:41 – 23:19, including the last 5:55 of the game. The Dolphins (2-2) surpassed their 2007 win total, having posted a 1-15 last year. San Diego (2-3) hosts New England on Sunday night at Qualcomm Stadium before going on the road to Buffalo and then traveling to play New Orleans in London. Gonzalez sets NFL record: Kansas City’s Tony Gonzalez passed Shannon Sharpe as the all-time receiving yards leader for tight ends on Sunday. Gonzalez caught a 6-yard pass in the first quarter against Carolina to set the record and finished the game with 10,075 career receiving yards at his position. Sharpe had 10,060 career yards. Shanahan disappointed: Former Oakland Raiders coach and current Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan had some fun last week at his weekly press conference after Raiders owner Al Davis fired Lane Kiffin as Oakland’s coach. “I was a little disappointed, to be honest with you,” Shanahan joked. “When you take a look at it, I was there 582 days. Lane Kiffin was there 616 days. So, what it really means is that Al Davis liked Lane more than he liked me. I really don’t think it’s fair. I won three more games, yet he got 34 more days of work. That just doesn’t seem right.” Week 5 Leaders: PASSING Kyle Orton, Bears, 24-34, 334 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT Drew Brees, Saints, 26-46, 330 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs Aaron Rodgers, Packers, 25-37, 313 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT RUSHING Clinton Portis, Redskins, 29 carries, 145 yards, 1 TD Brandon Jacobs, Giants, 15 carries, 136 yards, 2 TDs Ronnie Brown, Dolphins, 24 carries, 125 yards, 1 TD RECEIVING Roddy White, Falcons, 8 catches, 132 yards, 1 TD Andre Johnson, Texans, 9 catches, 131 yards, 1 TD Randy Moss, Patriots, 5 catches, 111 yards, 1 TD TACKLES Patrick Willis, 49ers, 18 Takeo Spikes, 49ers, 14 SACKS Travis LaBoy, Cardinals, 2 LaMarr Woodley, Steelers, 2 Mario Williams, Texans, 2 INTERCEPTIONS Tramon Williams, Packers, and 22 others with 1 each. Quotable: “We were a confident team after last week’s game. Then we come in here and we acted like we’ve never played before.” – Kansas City Chiefs’ coach Herm Edwards on 34-0 loss to Carolina a week after beating Denver 33-19.
