Chargers soar over Eagles 22-10 in BBBB

Contrats to Coach Stu Geller and his 1970 SD Chargers, who defeated the 1973 Philadelphia Eagles 22-10, in the inaugural BBBB (Bert Bell Benefit Bowl). For much of 3 1/2 quarters this was a tight struggle until the Chargers pulled away late. San Diego owned the first half, but by the end of the 3rd they were clinging to a tenuous 12-10 lead. Coach Geller in his post game interview said, "I was worried about that missed XP in the 2nd...those usually come back to haut you". Well no worries were needed as the 4th quarter belonged to the 'bolts. The key play turned out to be an 18 yard pass from John Hadl (20-29-245-2TD-INT) to Willie Frazier, who alertly lateraled to flanker Gary Garrison who took it an extra 20 yards to paydirt to make the score 19-10. Philadelphia tried hard to right the ship, but the shock of this extraordinary play was too much to overcome. The Chargers then proceeded to burn clock and add a FG to put it away. Special congrats has to go out to Eagles coach Andy Weinrib who made his first appearance in an online championship game and really hung in their vs the experienced Geller and his club.
