Below are both the Chargers and Colts radio calls when Michael Turner makes his game clinching 83 yard touchdown run. I’m certain that Chargers radio broadcasters Josh Lewin and Hank Bauer will make it on Dan Patrick's Homer Call Play of the Week Monday morning on ESPN Radio.

Last week tight end Antonio Gates caught an 8-yard TD pass from quarterback Drew Brees with 15 seconds left.

Brees passed for 279 yards to raise his season total to 3,092. It marked his third-career 3,000-yard season and left him just 192 yards shy of his career high of 3,284 yards, set in 2002.

Antonio Gates had 123 yards receiving, on a career-high 13 catches, last Sunday against Miami to raise his season total to a new career-high of 997 yards. He’s three yards shy of the coveted 1,000-yard mark and his total is the most receiving yards by a Chargers tight end since Kellen Winslow chalked up 1,172 yards in 1983.

Clinton Hart put an exclamation point on the victory with a 70-yard interception return. Hart seems to make a big difference in games when inserted into the starting lineup. Twice this season, he has started games at strong safety for an injured Terrence Kiel and the Bolts have won both games.

Hart had a big hand in last Sunday night’s win over the Raiders before a national television audience on ESPN, helping to account for 14 of the team’s 34 points. Late in the first quarter of a 3-3 game, Hart tackled LaMont Jordan and jarred the ball loose on the hit. It was recovered by Randall Godfrey at the Raiders’ 34-yard line and seven plays later Drew Brees threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates to give the Bolts a 10-3 lead. Then, midway through the fourth quarter with the Bolts leading 27-10, Hart intercepted a pass intended for tight end Courtney Anderson and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown and the final points of the game in San Diego’s 34-10 win.

I like to listen to the radio calls from time to time. My favorite part is when color commentary Bob Trumpy cries out a “NO” when L.T. makes the Game-Winning 41 yard TD run in overtime to beat the Redskins 23-17.
