NFL: SAN DIEGO (7-5) at TENNESSEE (7-5) <h3>Chargers face Titans in key clash</h3> <div class="pre">San Diego (7-5) at Tennessee (7-5) 1:00 pm EST</div> <div class="pre">NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- Despite an inconsistent season,</div>the San Diego Chargers can clinch the AFC West title thisweekend - with a little help. The Chargers visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in a battle of7-5 teams with major playoff implications. A San Diego victory, coupled with a Denver loss to the KansasCity Chiefs, gives the Chargers their third division title inthe last four seasons. Last season, San Diego posted an NFL-best record of 14-2 butlost in the divisional round of the playoffs, leading to thefiring of coach Marty Schottenheimer. "We want to get on a roll and be hot come the end of December,"Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. "It's certainly betterto be where we are than to be looking up at someone, but westill have that sense of urgency we had a couple weeks ago." San Diego will be looking to match a season high with its thirdstraight victory. Last week, the Chargers rallied for a 24-10victory at Kansas City. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 177 yards on 23 carries, toppingthe 100-yard mark for the first time since scoring fourtouchdowns in a 198-yard effort against Oakland on October 14. Tomlinson also ran for two touchdowns to pass Hall of FamerWalter Payton for third on the NFL's all-time list with 123. While Tomlinson showed a glimpse of last season form, when herushed for an NFL-best 1,815 yards, the Chargers' defense alsostepped up with eight sacks and fout turnovers. The Titans are looking to avenge last season's 40-7 loss at SanDiego in which the Chargers built a 20-0 lead at halftime. San Diego held a 250-15 advantage in total yards and garnered 16first downs to just one for the Titans in the first half.Tennessee quarterbacks Kerry Collins and Vince Young combined tocomplete 1-of-11 passes for zero yards in the half. Last week, the Titans snapped a three-game losing streak with a28-20 victory over the Houston Texans that improved theirplayoff chances. The win pulled Tennessee into a tie with the Cleveland Brownsfor the AFC's second wild card spot. Young threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns in perhaps his bestgame of the season as the Titans rallied from a 10-7 halftimedeficit. Tennessee's defense also got a boost from the return of tackleAlbert Haynesworth, who missed the previous three games with ahamstring injury. Without Haynesworth, the Titans surrendered97 points.
