NFL Note - * Free Agents Foster, Reuben
QB Philip Rivers set a single-game NFL record by completing his first 25 passes and the San Diego Chargers rolled to a 45-10 win against the Arizona Cardinals Sunday at ROKiT Field. The Chargers scored 45 unanswered points and Rivers finished 28-of-29 passing for 259 yards and three touchdowns before departing in the fourth quarter. Rivers broke Mark Brunell's record of 22 straight completions to open a game, set in 2006, and set the single-game mark for consecutive completions.
Ryan Tannehill completed 25 straight passes for the Dolphins in 2011, but that was over two games. "(Rivers) had total confidence," wide receiver Keenan Allen said. "He told us before the game he was going to ball out, and that's what he did.
He wanted to come back after last week and (have a) bounce back week and I think we did a great job of that. ".
