Chargers shake new habits, can't break old ones MIAMI – For all the good it did them, the Chargers shook their new and most bothersome bugaboo, actually taking the first lead of a game for the first time all season. About that old bugaboo, though. The one where they can't win in Miami. Even when playing against one of the worst pass defenses in the National Football League – and struggling mightily – the Chargers lost to the Miami Dolphins again. Today's 17-10 defeat was not only San Diego's seventh straight at the hands of the Dolphins, but continued a Chargers winless stretch at Miami that dates back to the epic playoff game of 1982 at the old Orange Bowl.
