Chargers fire special teams coach Spencer

The Jaguars were beaten by San Diego and the Titans by Oakland when a bad call on a fourth-down incomplete pass kept Oakland’s game-winning drive alive.

Now, that being said, with the Titans’ lack of outside threats at wide receiver-Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter are out-and the Titans keeping extra men at the line to protect Mariota, it will be very hard to make plays through the air, like it was on Sunday in the second half against Carolina. The Jaguars won that game, only to lose to San Diego. He has been in discussions with General Manager David Caldwell and there is a chance that another kicker could be brought in for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

“This was long overdue”, Rivers said. “Coming from OR, anything out of that system, you’re definitely excited about”.

“Joe Montana was on my wall”. Every pass has to go to someone who has a hand in making it a completion. “I’ve had the opportunity to be out there for 155 [games] in a row”. Rivers trails only Tom Brady in total passing yards, and he’s second behind Drew Brees in completion percentage. He was sacked twice and had his left ankle checked in the locker room at halftime.

This week, I caught up with Ryan O’Halloran, who covers the Jaguars for the Florida Times-Union.

Bortles on the improvements of offensive line in pass protection: “Yeah, they’ve been unbelievable”. “The good thing about that, looking at the positive side, is we kind of tightened up everything“. “I always tell the players to look back further in the game and understand that there are some times in games where it’s putting the game away by converting the third-down earlier and not putting your defense on the field for a two-minute situation, the offense finishing a drive with a touchdown instead of kicking a field goal at some point at time or defensively not giving up an explosive play”. I’ve never done that in my life, and I did it twice today.

Te’o said the Chargers (3-8) picked up some tendencies by Blake Bortles. Philip Rivers then surprised everyone by scrambling eight yards for the first down, diving for the marker. A league-leading 1,468 of Bortles’ passing yards this season have come via passes of 15-plus yards.

“How about No. 17?”

The San Diego Chargers have fired their special teams coach… “If the run is not working, sometimes, you’ve got to do other things”. Johnson caught seven passes for 92 yards.

Although Sunday’s game might not show it, the Jaguars are high on their rookie running back. Blake Bortles is completing 57 percent of his passes for 2,952 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Gates continued to be reliable as ever in the red zone with four catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns.

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said he hopes to know more about Allen Hurns (concussion) by Thursday night. He was later released.

“I think what you can see with what he’s done the past couple of weeks is that he took advantage of his opportunities that he had of learning the National Football League game”, McCoy said. “Our prayers are with him”. Jaguars FS Josh Evans left the game with a concussion and did not return…. “They’ve been awesome, fun to play with and I think they’ve done an unbelievable job”.
