So I will make fun of this
Don Banks article about the upcoming AFC Championship game between the New England Perfects and the San Jose Somethings. This falls under the umbrella statement: "Every time a critic tells you how Team X could beat Team Y in a 'Keys to the Game' type of deal, shit gets stupid."
[H]ere are five things the Chargers need to pull one of biggest upsets ever:1. LaDainian Tomlinson must be a difference-maker.
The #1 offensive weapon the Chargers have must have a good game. That seems crazy to me, but keep going.
2. A surprising contribution from an unsung player.
He's talking about Billy Volek, if Rivers can't play. So, so far we have:
1. Chargers' running back must be good.
2. Chargers' QB must be good.
3. Keep those turnovers coming.
1. Chargers' running back must be good.
2. Chargers' QB must be good.
3. Chargers force turnovers.
4. Harrison and Seau play more like old Patriots rather than ex-Chargers.
1. Chargers' running back must be good.
2. Chargers' QB must be good.
3. Chargers force turnovers.
4. Some members of Patriots' defense do not play well.
5. History to repeat itself. He's talking about Week 4 of the 2005 regular season, when the Bolts beat the Pats and broke their streak of home wins. So, to conclude, here are the things the Chargers need, in order to win the game:
1. Chargers' running back must be good.
2. Chargers' QB must be good.
3. Chargers force turnovers.
4. Patriots' defense does not play well.
5. Chargers [make? cause?] history [to] repeat[s] itself.
or
5. Chargers win game, thereby winning game.
