San Diego Chargers v. Jacksonville Jaguars NFL football game today
We talk each week and take it one game at a time, trying to improve.
Maxim Garshman is a Bay Area native who now calls San Diego home.
Hurns caught four passes on nine targets for 42 yards Sunday, bringing his season yardage total to 758, to go with his seven touchdowns (one a game from Week 3 to Week 10). But his four TD passes were enough against the Jaguars (4-7), who failed to recover an onside kick in the closing minutes.
Jacksonville Jaguars star wide receiver Allen Hurns suffered a scary looking injury during Sunday’s string of games. “What they thought about the team and where we’re at and what we need to do to progress”, Goldson said.
Jacksonville also had more red-zone troubles, scoring just once in four trips inside the 20-yard line. Matthews had three receptions for 60 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown catch, for Philadelphia. The Jaguars were, and still are, one of the youngest teams in the league and Blake Bortles’ first game as a starter showed that, as he finished his first ever start with 29 completions out of 34 attempts with 254 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
As for the game, Jacksonville can blame the loss on more red-zone troubles. “We’re a fraternity out here and every player cares for one another”. Rivers and the rest of the Chargers are going to be under a lot of pressure today and they will make a few mistakes.
Two of those red-zone drives ended with field goals after Blake Bortles scrambled on third down and threw passes beyond the line of scrimmage.
A stretcher was brought out to take Hurns to a local hospital.
Yeldon averaged 4.0 yards per carry against the Chargers and caught four passes for 46 yards, so he was effective when he did touch the ball.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are now the team to watch in the American Football Conference. Cincinnati Bengals’ wide receiver A.J. Green tallied a score in nine consecutive games in 2012 while Dallas Cowboys’ wide out Dez Bryant posted a streak of seven games that same year.
Yes, I said the feet. Bortles threw for 329 yards in the loss, completing 30-of-49 passes. “I get the chills when you say I passed him because those are names I grew up watching”, Rivers told reporters after the game.
The good news for Hurns is that he did have movement in his extremities and he was able to tweet after the game.
