Vikings move closer to playoff berth by beating Chargers 39-10

CARSON, Calif. – The football rested on the Chargers 36-yard line in the final seconds of the first half Sunday, sitting there almost as a gift for Ifeadi Odenigbo on a play on which his hands had already been one of six sets that had touched it.

Los Angeles center Scott Quessenberry's hands were first, as he snapped the ball to quarterback Philip Rivers with the Chargers pursuing a go-ahead score before halftime. Rivers stepped back to avoid Scott Tevi, the tackle Danielle Hunter had flattened just in front of him, and had the ball swatted from his right hand as Hunter's left arm wrapped around him.
