By JAIME ARON (AP) – 13 minutes ago
ARLINGTON, Texas — Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers remain perfect in Decembers. Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys remain perfectly miserable in the most important month of the regular season.
Rivers bailed the Chargers out of trouble with several third-down throws and hit Antonio Gates for a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, lifting San Diego to a 20-17 victory over the Cowboys that continues December trends for both clubs.
San Diego (10-3) won its eighth straight and are on the verge of a playoff berth. The Chargers also won their 16th straight in December, all with Rivers — and the last 11 under coach Norv Turner, whom Cowboys owner Jerry Jones decided not to hire last time his head coaching job was available.
He hired Wade Phillips instead, and hasn't gotten his money's worth in December: 3-8 after this loss, which is Dallas' second straight. Players talked all week about wanting to win to boost his job security, but the Cowboys (8-5) have now dropped consecutive games for the first time this season. They'll carry that skid and sinking playoff hopes into a game at undefeated New Orleans on Saturday night.

Love my Lightning Bolts!
