Rivers Leads Chargers Past Dolphins

SAN DIEGO (AP) ― Philip Rivers had his usual big plays and a nifty little one that helped the San Diego Chargers end a seven-game losing streak against Miami.

Rivers scored on a 5-yard scramble late in the third quarter to highlight a 23-13 victory over the winless Dolphins, who lost quarterback Chad Pennington to a shoulder injury early in the second half.

In the shotgun on third-and-goal, Rivers couldn't find a receiver and the pocket collapsed, so he sprinted up the middle and into the end zone for a 10-6 lead.

The Chargers (2-1) are above .500 in the regular season for the first time since the end of 2007. The Dolphins are 0-3 for the third time in six seasons.
