SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers made it through his first appearance of the exhibition season without committing a turnover or getting sacked.
It was a small victory even though the San Diego Chargers did lose to the Seattle Seahawks 31-10 Thursday night.
Mike McCoy, who made his head coaching debut, said he's pleased with how the first-team offense and defense did, even though they were on the field just a short time.
Rivers completed 5 of 6 passes for 45 yards in leading the Chargers on an opening 74-yard drive in 13 plays capped by Nick Novak's 28-yard field goal.
He even gained 5 yards on a third-and-6, scrambling when he couldn't find anyone open.
Rather than going for it for a second time on fourth down, McCoy chose to have Novak kick the field goal.
"I would have liked to see him pick up the first down," McCoy said Friday
