SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Chris Griesen threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Bryan Gilmore in the third quarter, leading the Arizona Cardinals to a 24-17 exhibition victory over the San Diego Chargers. Entering his first season as Jake Plummer's backup, the untested Griesen completed 6-of-11 passes for 74 yards. His TD pass to Gilmore with 6:09 left in the third quarter gave the Cardinals a 21-17 lead. Plummer played the first quarter and hooked up with muscular wide receiver David Boston on a 66-yard touchdown pass. Plummer went 5-of-7 for 101 yards. While Plummer firmly is entrenched as the Cardinals quarterback, veteran Doug Flutie and Drew Brees are waging a battle to win the job in San Diego. The incumbent, Flutie started and went 6-of-9 for 46 yards. Brees was 8-of-13 for 60 yards. He also had interception returned 38 yards for a touchdown by David Barrett. Third-stringer Dave Dickenson had a 15-yard touchdown pass to Pat Batteaux in the third quarter for the Chargers, who lost in the debut of new coach Marty Schottenheimer. |
