Chargers May Have Played Final Game In San Diego

San Diego’s inability to run the football and put up points has been well documented, evidenced by the fact that they rank 25 in points per game (20) and penultimate in the NFL in rushing yards per contest (84).

Rookie running back Melvin Gordon of the San Diego Chargers has torn cartilage in his left knee and will miss the final two games of the season.

Which brings us back to Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday, and the Chargers’ 30-14 win over the Miami Dolphins. The Chargers trailed 37-6 heading into the fourth quarter before quarterback Philip Rivers threw all three of his touchdown passes, including two to running back Danny Woodhead.

When the Chargers moved up two spots to draft Gordon in the first round, the Chargers brass sold this scenario: they had a home-run hitter in the backfield who could be a difference-maker.

“So if you don’t have a Chargers fan base for the afternoon games, you have to accommodate the Seahawks, the 49ers, the Raiders”, Corallino said.

“I know we have the talent to come out and finish strong”, Tannehill said. The group resembles something of a MASH unit after starting center Mike Pouncey (left foot) and left tackle Branden Albert (right knee) left Sunday’s game and did not return. Last time, they defeated the Chargers by a touchdown and a point after. Veteran tight end Antonio Gates reeled in at least six catches for the fifth time this season, but has been held out of the end zone in six of eight contests.

One thing we’ve learned about the National Football League over the course of the years is that there is no shortage of controversial plays.

The Chargers snapped a long drought when collecting their first rushing touchdown since the season opener.

Interim Head Coach Dan Campbell reiterated Monday he was pleased with his players’ effort level in the game against the San Diego Chargers, and that it was a lack of focus that was the biggest issue at Qualcomm Stadium. On Oct. 29, Sebastian Janikowski kicked five field goals in a 15-13 win in San Diego.

Woodhead also caught three touchdown passes from Philip Rivers for his first career four-touchdown game.

The Chargers made life hard for Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

I think it’s safe to say that whatever team gets Eric Weddle next year is getting a hell of a teammate.

Those who did make it to Sunday’s game tried to remain positive.

Back in February, the Chargers teamed up with the Raiders on a new $1.7 billion stadium development proposal in Los Angeles.

Eventually Jones ran in to offensive guard Orlando Franklin, who stripped Franklin the ball from Jones and allowed Rivers to recover it just three yards away from the original line o scrimmage. Wideout Malcom Floyd will be playing in his last home game before retirement, but has just five receptions for 83 yards in his last four contests combined.
