Chargers Hammer Dolphins on Emotional Day

If Philip Rivers played his final game in San Diego on Sunday, the former Athens High School star went out with a victory, leading the Chargers to a 30-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

The NFL hopes to decide next month in Houston what teams and what site it will approve for relocation.

The Raiders lead the all-time series 59-50-1.

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.

“I felt it was only right that Raiders fans, my fans, fans that have watched me play for a long time, I’d let them all know that this Thursday night would be the last time in the Coliseum I would be able to run out there in front of our fans at home”, he said. “He isn’t. But he will be pretty damned soon”. Even with the playoffs out of reach now, the Raiders are still playing hard and are looking to build something heading into next season. On the same note, Rivers did have a pair of interceptions and yet, he finished the game with a 106.7 passer rating.

Rivers completed 26 of 36 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns. Weddle, whose contract expires at the end of the season, was splayed out on his back, lying on the Chargers helmet at midfield after the game. Danny Woodhead has all three rushing touchdowns the Chargers have collected this season. Davis became commissioner of the American Football League. It is also the first four TD performance for a San Diego Chargers running back since LaDanian Tomlinson did so in 2007. It certainly felt that way in Sunday’s game; fans, resigning themselves to their fate, shouting “We’ll miss you!” and “Thanks for the memories!” to players as they headed into the locker room.

This game was nearly a season reset for Woodhead, who’d amassed just 116 yards on 41 carries in the past nine games after surging his way to 144 yards on 33 carries in the first four games.

-Few people got more out of their talents than wide receiver Malcom Floyd. “To come out and play like this on both sides of the ball is unacceptable in every sense of the word”.

I’ll take Oakland by a touchdown. The Raiders went on to beat the Cleveland Browns in the AFC title game and the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

The Chargers are 3-0 ATS in their last three games as underdogs against the Raiders. The Chargers finish the season at Denver.

The rookie players will be back next season, but the rookie coach probably won’t.

San Diego pushed its cushion to 9-0 on Josh Lambo’s 28-yard field goal in the second quarter. Oakland’ Leo Araguz punted 16 times and Darren Bennett of the Chargers had 11 punts.
