The Chargers start the season with a bang as Stanley Richard returns an interception 99 yards for a touchdown to give the Chargers a lead on the way to a remarkable, 37-34, come-from-behind win over the Broncos in Denver to open the season. Two weeks later 99 was a magic number again as QB Stan Humphries hit WR Tony Martin on a 99-yard TD pass against the Seahawks in a 24-10 win in Seattle. The Chargers would continue to buzz winning their first 6 and 7 out of 8. However, the Chargers would struggle losing 4 out of 6. With first place slipping out of their grips the Chargers rebounded with a solid 21-6 win over the Jets in New York to clinch the division. A week later the Chargers would overcome an early deficit to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh 37-34.

The game was meaningless for the Steelers but it gave the Chargers a first round bye with an 11-5 record. In the Divisional Playoffs against the Miami Dolphins at Jack Murphy Stadium, the Chargers fell behind early, trailing 21-6 in the 3rd Quarter. However, the Chargers would start to grind the run the ball with Natrone Means, as the Chargers began to comeback against a tiring Dolphins defense. Holding the ball most of the 2nd half the Chargers took a 22-21, and held on to win a Pete Stoyonvich's desperation kick sailed right. In the AFC Championship Game the Chargers returned to Pittsburgh with more than a week off on the line. The Steelers would lead the Chargers all game, but in the 4th Quarter the Chargers would take the lead when Stan Humphries hit TE Alfred Pupunu to give the Chargers a 17-13 lead. However, the Steelers would drive right up the field and to the doorstep of the Chargers endzone. Their the Chargers defense would stiffen up and not allow the Steelers in, as Dennis Gibson knocked down Neil O'Donnell's 4th Down pass with 1:04 left. When the Chargers got back to San Diego 70,000 fans greeted them as they got back to the Murph.
Super Bowl XXIX: Playing in the Super Bowl for the first time the Chargers faced the San Francisco 49ers in Miami, in an all-California tilt. However, the Chargers were simply overmatched as the 49ers pulled away early on the way to an easy 49-26 victory. However, the Chargers made history by successfully completing the first 2-point conversion attempt in Super Bowl history. For good measure the Chargers would repeat the feat to bring the game's combined score up to a record 75 points. Despite losing over 100,000 fans greeted the Chargers when they arrived back in San Diego.
