Dolphins loss guarantees losing season

Woodhead might be the one whose performance is ingrained in history, regardless of what Rivers did, and that is because he also rushed for a pair of touchdowns, the first rushing touchdowns for his team since Week One. He lost four of his six fumbles.

The Miami Dolphins wrapped up their second losing season in the last four years and its eighth in the last dozen years with Sunday’s 30-14 loss at lowly San Diego. “We used it for energy and hopefully we gave them something to cheer about”.

The San Diego Chargers have remained consistently an above average team over the years, but they hoped drafting a top running back this offseason would help put them over the edge.

Rivers completed 26-of-36 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions against Miami as he went over 4,000 passing yards for the season. “We get so caught up in what we do you forget how many people are involved – the fans, the people that have been part of the stadium that make all these memories we have”. But physically us showing up and trying to finish plays was there.

Spanos, who has been pushing since February to be positioned to beat St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke to Los Angeles, refused comment as he left the locker room with his two sons, who now run the team. One way or another, Spanos’ L.A. interests seem protected.

After the game, Jackson Browne’s “Stay” and even “Auld Lang Syne” played on the sound system.

“I mean, there’s something to be said for that”, Campbell said of Landry’s milestone, “but you’d certainly like to win with that … you just wish he’d done that and gotten a win out of it”. “They actually came over and I signed a few jerseys and stuff and honked my horn at them one last time”. You want to build off the things we’ve done well, and correct the things we haven’t done well. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for (teammates) just carrying us. “If this is the last one, I’ll always be sick that we didn’t win a championship while we were here”. The Chargers paid a lot money to Miami to throw the game so that they could celebrate their likely final home game in San Diego where they have called home for 55 years. Malcom Floyd and Dontrelle Inman are the best wide receivers left for San Diego, and against Miami, there’s definite potential, but I’ll be damned if I can tell you which is better….

Cornerback Brent Grimes, on the other hand, has already shown that he’s not the player he once was in allowing nearly 66 percent completions, six touchdowns, and a 101.6 passer rating into his coverage this year according to Pro Football Focus. Miami struggled the entire game and looked lethargic on the field.

While the Chargers rank 31st in the NFL in rushing yards per game with a mark of 79.7, the team has the least rushing touchdowns (2) in the league as well.

The Chargers Cannon went off when Woodhead caught a 20-yard touchdown pass.

The Raiders will enter the 2016 season without defensive back Charles Woodson, who announced Monday that he will retire at the end of the 2015 season.
