Dolphins lose 30-14 in possible San Diego finale for Bolts

As the San Diego Chargers prepare to host the Miami Dolphins this coming Sunday afternoon, a much greater cloud continues to form above.

The team’s franchise quarterback lingered after the game signing autographs, signs, and even his shoes. Because the Bolts did not offer him an extension, it is doubtful he will be back in the powder blues next year. “NFL?” The sign was off by one year; the Chargers have been here 55 years.

“A lot of (season ticket holders) say they don’t want to go and that they’re done after this”, said Rich Mansfield, a season ticket holder since 1990.

Added interim coach Dan Campbell: “We just couldn’t ever establish the run game”.

GIANTS (+4½) over Panthers: Manning, who completed 27 of 31 passes for 337 yards against the Dolphins, usually plays his best in big games like this. Qualcomm Stadium has served as the Chargers’ home since 1967 and is an icon for the city – it’s also housed the San Diego Padres and San Diego State’s football team.

Woodhead finished the first half with four 42 yards and two touchdowns on four receptions.

“I know we have the talent to come out and finish strong”, Tannehill said. Last week’s loss pushed Miami right out of the playoff race and now they will have to wait until next year to try and make that playoff run the team hasn’t had since 2008.

Tight end Antonio Gates continued to be Rivers’ most reliable weapon by catching six passes for 88 yards. Back in 1995, the Dolphins held a 15-point advantage over San Diego before falling in the end.

Over the past nine years, Chargers safety Eric Weddle has grown pretty attached to San Diego.

The Chargers on Sunday were playing their final home game of 2015.

Tank be damned, it felt good to see a winning effort at Qualcomm Stadium for what could have been the last time. The Chargers dominated on both sides of the ball and at one point in the first half the Chargers defense forced 5 straight punts and gave up 0 points going into halftime. On Sunday, White had third-down catches of 14 and 17 yards in the fourth quarter, each extending a drive that resulted in a field goal, making the difference in the game for Atlanta. Rivers tried to get Floyd a TD pass but was intercepted at the 1 by Brent Grimes. The team has two road games left, and the National Football League is expected to decide in January whether it can leave for Los Angeles.

He’s missed the past three games with a concussion and is designated as probable. Injured for the Dolphins were offensive tackle Branden Albert (knee), linebacker Chris McCain (knee), linebacker Koa Misi (back) and center Mike Pouncey (foot). McCain was sprawled across the punter. Scifres also looked injured as well, but said he was just staying down because of McCain’s injury.
