(Reuters) ? Surging San Diego overcame Baltimore 34-14 Sunday to keep alive their postseason hopes while damaging the Ravens' playoff top seed ambitions.
San Diego scored 27 points without reply from the second quarter to the fourth, breaking open a 7-7 tie and dominating on both sides of the ball to steamroll their way to a third consecutive win.
Ryan Mathews scored a pair of rushing touchdowns, quaterback Philip Rivers threw for 270 passing yards and the San Diego defense tallied seven sacks and two interceptions in a dominant performance.
The victory moved San Diego (7-7) within a game of a playoff spot while the Ravens (10-4) had their four-game win streak snapped and fell a half-game behind Pittsburgh for first in the AFC North Division.
Baltimore welcomed back their defensive leader Ray Lewis, who had missed four games with a toe injury, but they failed to record a sack and they were quickly left in the dust.
The Chargers grabbed a 17-7 halftime lead before Rivers fired a 28-yard touchdown pass to Malcom Floyd in the third where Mathews added a three-yard score to push the advantage to 31-7.
