San Diego wide receiver Bryan Walters caught a 14-yard pass from Billy Volek with 3 seconds left to lift the Chargers past the Arizona Cardinals 34-31.

The chemistry that quarterback Kevin Kolb and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald keep talking about was on full display early for the Cardinals. They connected on an 80-yard play for the quarterback’s first touchdown pass with his new team.

Philip Rivers completed 18 of 28 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns for the Chargers (2-1) as both teams played their first units well into the third quarter.
