KANSAS CITY, MO. - Norv Turner finally found a way to beat the Chiefs.
All it took was two touchdowns and 177 yards rushing by LaDainian Tomlinson and eight sacks by the defense. Toss in Philip Rivers' 38-yard touchdown pass and the Chargers waltzed away with a victory, making their coach 1-6 lifetime against the Chiefs.
Since a 30-16 loss to Kansas City plunged them to 1-3 on Sept. 30 and triggered an outcry against Turner, the Chargers have gone on a 6-2 spree and seized the lead in the AFC West.
The Chiefs have lost six of eight and could be on the brink of their worst season in two decades.
