Billyball!


Rallying his team in the final seconds, Billy Volek lifted the Chargers to a 23-20 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday -- much to the delight of The Billy Volek Fan Club.
Volek's 2-yard touchdown pass to Mike Tolbert with 35 seconds remaining gave the Chargers their 11th straight win.
Volek -- No. 2 on the quarterback depth chart and No. 1 in your hearts for a day -- completed 19-of-30 passes for 216 yards and an interception. The game-winner was his only touchdown, but who cares? That final scoring drive is how legends are born.
Someday, perhaps soon, they'll be referring to Volek as "Billy The (Comeback) Kid," and you can say you remember the day it all started.
By providing his last-minute heroics, Volek now gives coach Norv Turner a little more to think about before settling on a starting lineup for the playoffs. Can you say raging QB controversy, San Diego?
