A sad legacy for a special Chargers team

The 1994 Chargers were a close-knit group, overcoming more talented teams to advance to the 1995 Super Bowl. But as the years have slipped by, and one player after another has died, the team's remaining players can't help but wonder what's going on. Shawn Lee, Chris Mims, Lew Bush, Junior Seau ... eight players off the 53-man roster have died in the their 20s, 30s or 40s. The latest, Seau's suicide at age 43, shocked San Diego, the Chargers franchise and all of pro football. My story for NFL.com on the tragedies that have befallen that once-blessed group of super Chargers. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d828fa9ce/article/rash-of-tragedies-leaves-1994-chargers-searching-for-answers?module=HP11_cp
