Chargers Rally to Top Ravens

The Chargers scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, capping a wild rally to beat the Ravens, 34-33, in Baltimore on Sunday.

Philip Rivers hit Eddie Royal on a 1-yard TD pass with just 38 seconds left to complete the comeback.

The Bolts (8-4) trailed 30-20 midway through the fourth quarter before Rivers found Keenan Allen for his second score of the day with 3:14 remaining. After holding the Ravens (7-5) to a field goal, Rivers drove the Chargers 80 yards for the winning score.

He had a tremendous day, completing 34 of 45 passes for 383 yards.

Allen had a game-high 121 receiving yards to go with his pair of score.

Ryan Mathews ran for just 38 yards, but 14 of them came on a touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.

Joe Flacco threw for 225 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also added a rushing score for the Ravens. Justin Forsett had 24 carries for 106 yards.

The teams combined for 189 penalty yards in a flag-fillied game, many of them costly. Chargers safety Eric Weddle got a roughing the passer penalty on a key third-down that led to a Ravens touchdown. Shareece Wright got called for pass interference in the end zone to set up another Ravens fourth-quarter score.

But the Ravens were given a controversial pass interference penalty in the end zone on the final drive that led to Royal's winning score.
