Chargers remove logo from field for the final time in San Diego?

When the Chargers moved up in the first round to select Gordon, general manager Tom Telesco said the back had “home-run ability” and was an impact player.

San Diego was mired in a six-game slide during the first meeting, but can win back-to-back games for the first time and record its first division victory since beating Oakland 13-6 on November 16 of a year ago. Or they might not be, depending on stadium negotiations and the wishes of owners of other National Football League teams, but that distinct possibility gave a poignant tinge to Sunday’s matchup with the Dolphins, after which the Chargers finish the season with two road games. Rivers was intercepted twice in that game and had the same amount Sunday but also threw three TDs to Woodhead.

Interim coach Dan Campbell said Pouncey could miss the last two games due to the injury he sustained Sunday against San Diego.

Chargers running back Danny Woodhead ran circles around the Miami secondary, catching a career-high three touchdown passes while quarterback Philip Rivers showed poise and precision from the pocket. “We couldn’t stop them, we couldn’t stay on the field on offense, and it cost us”.

With 37 seconds left, McCoy called timeout so Rivers, tight end Antonio Gates and Floyd could leave the game to applause.

Woodhead scored on receptions of 20, 9, and 9 yards and had a 2-yard run.

“It’ll be interesting, but I’ll say it again: those guys fought to the end last week”.

Gordon had fumbling issues and his long run was 27 yards. Two years later, with the Chargers having moved to San Diego, Gillman said, “There isn’t a doubt in Al Davis’ mind that he is the smartest man in the game”.

On the defensive side of the rock, the Chargers players to watch are unquestionably the team leaders in sacks.

“This is tough”, Waddell said, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.

San Diego (4-10) has struggled running the ball.

“Winning means everything, it’s why I’m in this, and it’s why I hope we are all in this”, Campbell said.

“I think really it goes down to everybody doing their jobs better, and not just Melvin Gordon”, coach Mike McCoy said.

After 54 years in San Diego, the Chargers have turned their attention to Los Angeles, where they are proposing a privately funded joint stadium in Carson with the Oakland Raiders. San Diego Chargers wide receiver Javontee Herndon (81) returns a punt during the second quarter.

-RB Melvin Gordon (knee) has been placed on IR. Gordon tore meniscus in his left knee toward the end of the first half on Sunday.

Miller had one carry on second down for no yards, and two carries on third down for a 12 yards, including a seven-yard gain on third and 15.
