Chargers Go Deep, Sink Seahawks : AFC: Miller’s nine receptions include a 67-yard pass play for a touchdown in 17-6 victory.

The San Diego Chargers finally got the long ball, and with it the first victory for Coach Bobby Ross.

The Chargers came to life offensively as Anthony Miller caught nine passes for 142 yards, including first-half touchdowns of 67 and five yards, in a 17-6 victory over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday.

Stan Humphries, the lowest-rated quarterback in the NFL, completed 15 of 28 passes for 200 yards and had no passes intercepted. He had eight passes intercepted in his previous three starts.

“It just makes us 1-4,” said Ross, who took over in January for the fired Dan Henning. “I’m very happy to have it. Very relieved, too.”

San Diego produced another strong defensive effort, holding the Seahawks (1-4) to 180 yards, their lowest output of the season.

Seattle quarterback Kelly Stouffer suffered a dislocated left shoulder when he was sacked by Leslie O’Neal late in the second quarter. Stouffer’s replacement, Dan McGwire, had three passes intercepted and was sacked three times, including once by O’Neal.

“Right now, it’s a nightmare,” Seattle Coach Tom Flores said. “Every time you turn around, something like that happens. It’s frustrating for everybody.”

The Chargers hadn’t scored a touchdown since just before halftime of their second game, a span of 10 quarters. They ended the drought five plays into the game when Miller beat cornerback Patrick Hunter down the left sideline and pulled in a pass from Humphries and scored on a 67-yard play.

It was San Diego’s longest offensive play since Miller had a 69-yarder against Philadelphia Nov. 5, 1989.
