SCHOTTENHEIMER AIMS TO SURPASS PAUL BROWN ON KICKOFF WEEKEND

 

When the San Diego Chargers travel to play the Houston Texans on Kickoff Sunday, Chargers head coach MARTY SCHOTTENHEIMER will seek his 171st career NFL coaching victory. With a win, Schottenheimer (170-124-1, .578) will surpass Pro Football Hall of Fame coach PAUL BROWN (170-108-6, .612) for eighth place on the league's all-time coaching victory list.

Schottenheimer, the league's winningest active head coach, has guided his teams to the playoffs 11 times.

Only four coaches have reached the playoffs more than Schottenheimer: DON SHULA (19), TOM LANDRY (18), CHUCK NOLL (12) and BUD GRANT (12).

Shula, Landry, Noll, and Grant have all been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
