Gates' 3 TD catches carry Chargers to 30-21 upset The 34-year-old Gates scored on catches of 8, 8 and 21 yards as the Chargers controlled the ball and kept Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch off the field. "Philip trusts in me to make plays," Gates said. Rivers has thrown 65 touchdown passes to Gates, the most in NFL history between a quarterback and a tight end. First thing is he had a good quarterback. The three touchdown receptions tied Gates' career high. Seattle's only lead came when Percy Harvin ran 51 yards down the left sideline to put the Seahawks up 7-3 in the first quarter. [...] Harvin had stepped on the sideline during the run and the NFL said after the game the score was "incorrectly confirmed." While Gates had a huge day, Freeney, 33, sacked Wilson to force the Seahawks to punt on their first drive.
