While pointing out that he wasn’t making excuses for his quarterback, coach Anthony Lynn acknowledged Monday that the injuries up front might have contributed to Philip Rivers’ interception issues through 14 games. “I think some of it may [have been] not having his tackles, his right and left tackle, at different times,” Lynn said. Rivers has thrown 18 interceptions for the season, including 11 in the last five games. Vikings defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo scoops up a fumble by Philip Rivers and returns it for a second-quarter touchdown Sunday. The Chargers share that interest, though Rivers’ recent play has ignited debate outside the team about his future.
