Struggling Bolts miss key players from last year's squad
 TIM SULLIVAN: The Chargers are essentially the same team that played for a shot at the Super Bowl last January. But not exactly. Their roster is replete with Pro Bowl players, but the core is less solid than it was last season, or in 2006.
Tomlinson not ready to concede season
Chargers RB and resident realist said Monday he feels the season slipping away with the inconsistent Chargers at 4-6, running out of time to chase down the suddenly resurgent Denver Broncos (6-4).

This time it's bettors who pay price for ref's mistake

Steelers put a serious hurt on the Chargers' playoff hopes
GUEST COLUMN: All things considered, the San Diego Chargers linebackers and secondary people had a pretty good day at Heinz Field Sunday. The Steelers won by the historic score of 11-10 to put a serious hurt on the Chargers' playoff hopes, and Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward had a huge game with 11 catches for 124 yards. But at least the Chargers defensive players went home in one piece.
Too many turnovers
TOO MANY TURNOVERS: After being responsible for just four interceptions and a safety in the first six games, Philip Rivers has become far more mistake-prone in the last four games, with six interceptions, two lost fumbles and another fumble that resulted in a safety.
Down the stretch they falter
Sunday wasn't the first time this season the Chargers have failed to prevent a team from scoring in the final minute. Or the second. Or even the third.
'D' rings up Big Ben four times, but needs improvement
After months of having their inability to pressure QBs cited as a major reason why they are last in the NFL in pass defense, the Chargers finally had a game in which the opposing QB went down with ball in hand.
