Stats: 21-29, 369 passing yards, 3 passing TD, 1 rushing TD, 149.0 passer rating

Tobin Rote's success extended well beyond his time in the north with the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions in the 1950s, as he made his way out to the San Diego coast to join Lance Alworth and the Chargers. This elite pair made for quite the passing offense, which was clearly on display in their 53-7 slaughter of the New York Jets.

Tobin Rote got the better of his counterpart, Dick Wood, as he amassed 369 passing yards for a new career high. He added 4 total touchdowns as he accounted for a near-perfect passer rating. Lance Alworth was a huge weapon for Rote, as he would accumulate 180 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown of the 3 that Rote so graciously delivered. Although Lance Alworth would go on to lead a productive receiving career, he would never find the same fulfillment playing without his hero, Tobin Rote.
