Rob Gronkowski, after the least productive regular season of his career preceded a new round of retirement rumblings prior to Sunday's kickoff, only caught one pass. But the Chargers punted on their final four possessions of the first half, when they managed only three first downs. And though Rivers came out bombing, it was the Chargers' timid defensive approach making the game plan on offense basically irrelevant. Following their most impressive win of the season, the Patriots visit Arrowhead and the top-seeded Chiefs in a preposterous eighth consecutive conference title game. Of course, the Chiefs reached that total five times and are coming off their finest defensive performance of the season.
