HOUSTON -- San Diegos Philip Rivers read all week about the Texans being 5-0 at home. He decided the Chargers should be the ones to end their perfect record in Houston.I dont like getting caught up in too much bulletin-board stuff, but I liked that, the fact this team was unbeaten at home, so lets go change that, Rivers said. It was in my head all week that we could stop the streak.Rivers did just that, throwing for 242 yards and three touchdowns to give the Chargers a 21-13 win over the mistake-prone Texans on Sunday. Dontrelle Inman had 119 yards receiving and a touchdown to help San Diego (5-6) to the victory.The Texans (6-5) were done in by four turnovers, including three interceptions by Brock Osweiler . He was so bad Sunday that coach Bill OBrien was asked twice after the game if hed considered benching him for backup Tom Savage.OBrien said he wouldnt be benched but didnt elaborate, and Osweiler took the blame for the loss.I need to play better for us to win, he said. I feel like our team gave us the opportunity to win today and I didnt play up to what Im capable of doing, and thats on me and Ill get that cleaned up.The Chargers were up by four in the fourth quarter when Rivers evaded the rush and delivered a 25-yard pass to Inman. Kareem Jackson was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet hit on the play, leaving San Diego at the 12-yard line. Rivers delivered a touchdown pass to rookie Hunter Henry on the next play to push the lead to 21-10.Osweilers second interception came after that when he badly overthrew C.J. Fiedorowicz and Dwight Lowery made the easy grab.Houston added a field goal with 37 seconds left and recovered an onside kick. But Osweilers first shot at the end zone was knocked down, and the second one was intercepted as time expired.It was yet another shaky performance for Osweiler, who has struggled in his first year in Houston after leaving to Denver to sign a $72 million contract. He has 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Despite his inconsistent play and a second straight loss, the Texans still have a 1/2 game lead on Tennessee in the weak AFC South .Houston was driving in the third quarter when Lamar Miller fumbled at the end of a 20-yard run. He was initially ruled down, but San Diego challenged the call and it was overturned. But it didnt matter much as an interception by Quintin Demps gave Houston the ball back four plays later.The Texans had a first down at the 6-yard line on their next drive before the offense stalled and they settled for a 19-yard field goal to cut the lead to 14-10 early in the fourth quarter.Rivers found a wide-open Inman for a 52-yard touchdown pass that tied it at 7 in the second quarter. Osweiler was intercepted by Casey Hayward on the next drive, and San Diego took a 14-7 lead when Rivers connected with Tyrell Williams on a 21-yard scoring pass.Our defense has done an outstanding job ... of creating turnovers, San Diego coach Mike McCoy said. Weve made the most of those opportunities.The Texans led 7-0 after a 1-yard touchdown run by Osweiler in the second quarter. Rookie Will Fuller had a 33-yard reception on that drive to put Houston in scoring position.COMIC RELIEFAt the conclusion of the first quarter referee Jeff Triplette turned on his microphone to announce that it was the end of the third quarter. He immediately realized his mistake and corrected himself while laughing and smiling.CHASING 1,000San Diegos second-year RB Melvin Gordon had 70 yards rushing on Sunday to leave him 92 yards away from reaching 1,000 yards for the first time. The last time the Chargers had a 1,000-yard rusher was in 2013 when Ryan Mathews had 1,255 yards.MISSING OUTSan Diego rookie fullback Derek Watt was disappointed he missed a chance to play against his brother J.J. Watt on Sunday with the Texans star defensive end out for the season after back surgery.Obviously that would have been a pretty special experience, Derek Watt said. We never had that opportunity in athletic competition outside of just messing around stuff.UP NEXTChargers : Host Tampa Bay next Sunday.Texans : Play their next two on the road, starting with a trip to Green Bay next Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL China NFL Jerseys .

Match factsSeptember 27, 2016 Start time 2000 local (1600 GMT)Big PictureBereft of confidence and 0-4 down, not much was happening for Pakistans limited-overs squad in their ODI series against England last month. But, as is the case in sport, one moment of clear thinking can help a team turn around. Pakistan achieved that through a partnership between their best limited-overs batsmen, Shoaib Malik and Sarfraz Ahmed, in a demanding chase of 303 in Cardiff. Three convincing T20 wins followed, and now, Pakistan have an atypical sense of belief in their own game, and camaraderie under newly-appointed captain Sarfraz has hit a new level. Although this series is done, Pakistan are still striving to find the glue that can hold it all together: consistency.Pakistans series win against West Indies has been built around the same modus operandi theyve used for decades - bat to par and bowl well above that. Reducing the world champions to 48 for 8 and 89 for 7 in the first two T20s showed their discipline with the ball. A youthful side has also shown the ability to save runs on the field. But, how will Pakistans new-look outfit hold their own under the duress that this format often brings?As teams master the T20 format, they also sometimes deem a bad day acceptable. West Indies batsmen suffered two in succession, which has cost the team the series; their six-hitters have hit the wall when unable to find the boundary. West Indies are known to be a boundary-hitting side. But its up to us to find a way around that, batting coach Toby Radford said after the second T20. If they dont, a whitewash may be inevitable.Form guidePakistan WWWLL (last five completed matches, most recent first)West Indies LLWWWIn the spotlightShoaib Malik has been one of Pakistans most consistent T20 performers. In his last 16 T20I innings, Malik has failed to register a double-digit score just once. Maliks experience and fielding prowess have also helped Pakistan in their dramatic limited-overs revival.West Indies middle order, which includes Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard and Carlos Brathwaite, is arguably the best in the world. Bravo resurrected West Indies innings in the first T20 with a 54-ball 55. But for them to be at their destructive best, West Indies top order has to set a base from where the middle order can attack effectively.Team newsPakistan have no reason to change their winning combination with a whitewash in sight, although coach Mickey Arthur saiid on the eve of the game that there might be changes on the fast-bowling front.dddddddddddd We would like to bring in [Mohammad] Amir, and start him bowling before the ODIs, he said. I want to know how Rumman Raees goes too, but we will take a final decision tomorrow.*Pakistan (probable): 1 Sharjeel Khan, 2 Khalid Latif, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Umar Akmal, 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Sarfraz Ahmed (capt & wk), 7 Imad Wasim, 8 Mohammad Nawaz, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Sohail Tanvir, 11 Hasan Ali/Mohammad AmirWith the series gone, captain Carlos Brathwaite said they are likely to hand a debut to one or two players. Rovman Powell may make it into the XI for Nicholas Pooran, who has scores of 5 and 4 in his first two T20Is. West Indies may also rejig their misfiring top order.West Indies (probable): 1 Johnson Charles, 2 Evin Lewis, 3 Andre Fletcher (wk), 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Carlos Brathwaite (capt), 8 Rovman Powell/Nicholas Pooran, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Samuel Badree, 11 Jerome TaylorPitch and conditionsAbu Dhabi, with its larger dimensions, will provide a different challenge to the batsmen. Pakistans batsmen scampered through for plenty of twos in the smaller Dubai outfield, which could continue. West Indies six-hitting ability and adaptability will be tested. The nature of the pitch is unlikely to be too dissimilar from the first two T20Is, and temperatures are expected to be in the late 30s again.Stats and triviaBefore this series, Pakistan had never won more than one match in a three-match T20I seriesPakistans left-arm bowlers have taken 14 wickets this series, the joint most for any team in a bilateral T20I seriesPakistan have won only one of the four T20Is they have played in Abu DhabiQuotesThe dot-ball percentage was always far too high [previously in limited-overs cricket], so we had to rotate the strike more and we particulary worked hard to score off good balls. It was pleasing to see us score so many [87] off the last ten the other night.Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur is happy that his teams efforts to improve aspects of their limited-overs batting are workingI havent lost confidence in anyone as a team.Captain Carlos Brathwaite is clear about believing in his team despite losing the two matches.*18.00GMT, September 26: The preview was updated after Mickey Arthurs media interaction ' ' '
