Panthers stun Chargers 26-24 as time expires

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Jake Delhomme came back with a jolt that the San Diego Chargers won’t soon forget.

Delhomme threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dante Rosaraio as time expired to lift the Carolina Panthers to a shocking 26-24 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

It was a heart-stopping capper to a game that swung wildly with a big defensive play by each team in the second half.

After Philip Rivers rallied San Diego with his third TD pass of the game, Delhomme moved the Panthers to the San Diego 14-yard line with 2 seconds left before calling his final timeout.

Delhomme dropped back on fourth down, scrambled and then found Rosario in the back of the end zone to give Carolina a 25-24 lead. Carolina coach John Fox raised his arms and clenched his fists as the offensive players mobbed each other between the goal posts and the stands.

John Kasay, who had four field goals, added the extra point to set the final score.

Delhomme returned after missing all but three games last season with an elbow injury that required reconstructive surgery.

He was 8-of-11 for 68 yards on the final drive.

LETS GO PANTHERS!!! WE JUST SHOWED THE WORLD!!!
