"When the game was over, Green Bay Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop had covered more turf at Qualcomm Stadium than the tarp that was rolled out before the start of Sunday's old-fashioned shootout.

It was one of those days where Bishop was called upon to offer help where it was needed most and he knew it wasn't always going to be pretty.

Missing their starting running back, a starting receiver and a third receiver of any consequence, the San Diego Chargers rode the dynamic duo of tight end Antonio Gates and receiver Vincent Jackson to a near miss Sunday afternoon.

In the 45-38 loss to the Packers, quarterback Philip Rivers threw half of his 46 passes to Gates and Jackson, his two remaining playmakers. Jackson caught seven passes for 141 yards and three touchdowns, but Gates caused much of the damage."
