SAN DIEGO — Aaron Rodgers was at his best, throwing lasers where only his receivers could catch them and finding four different teammates in the end zone.
Yes, Rodgers had a lot to do with the Green Bay Packers remaining undefeated with a crazy 45-38 win over the staggering San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
So did Philip Rivers, whose miserable run of turnovers continued with three critical interceptions, two by Charlie Peprah.
Peprah and Tramon Williams returned pickoffs for touchdowns in a span of six plays in the first quarter, and Peprah’s second pick in the closing seconds sealed the win for the Packers (8-0).
Rodgers completed 21-of-26 passes for 247 yards and ran his NFL-leading total to 24 TD throws. He had scoring passes of 5 yards to Jermichael Finley, 16 to Jordy Nelson, 21 to James Jones and 4 to Greg Jennings.
The Chargers (4-4) have lost three straight games, including road collapses at the New York Jets and on Monday night at Kansas City, when Rivers inexplicably fumbled a snap in the final minute of regulation with his team poised for a potential game- winning field goal.
Rivers also threw four touchdown passes Sunday to tie his career high — three to Vincent Jackson — but also threw a career- high three interceptions.
“We’re fighting through a rough time right now,” said Rivers, whose 14 interceptions and 17 total turnovers lead the NFL. “These tough times, you find out a lot about guys, a lot about yourself.”
