Eric Weddle lays at midfield after potential last game in San Diego
Many heartfelt signs made by the fans were seen; most if not all pleading for the team to remain in San Diego.
Gordon was injured in the second quarter after taking a blow to his left knee during a run. Raiders tight end Dave Casper bobbled the ball into the end zone where he finally fell on it for what would end up being the game-winning touchdown. “No. That’s something that he has the ability to do”, McCoy said.
Floyd has announced he will retire at the end of the season.
Still, would McCoy – who loudly sang Gordon’s praises before the season – be surprised if back in April someone would have suggested Gordon would struggle so mightily?
The season, much like Gordon, never gain any traction.
So Gordon is done, something the Chargers have been for quite some time.
Now the Chargers will finish out the remainder of the season on the road, facing the Raiders and the Denver Broncos. “I’m just going to try and soak in this win”.
Leading 23-0, Philip Rivers flung a deep ball down the Miami sideline to Malcom Floyd, who vaulted into the air while hugging his defender and pinned the ball to that defender’s back to make a first-down catch.
“There was a group of tailgaters right when you pull up at the front gate that I always honk my horn at and they always holler at me”, Rivers said. Two seasons later, Carr has Oakland at 6-8, out of the playoffs and only one win away from matching the last two seasons final records combined. “You know he runs one in and we’re like ‘hey, we ran one in'”. It prompted a famous radio call from announcer Bill King who proclaimed, “The Raiders have just scored on the most zany, unbelievable impossible dream of a play!”
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.
“I’m not going to lie, I might shed a few tears before the day is done”, said Silva. “It’s a little bit of everything to be honest with you”.
2008 – Late in the first half of a 28-18 loss to the Chargers heading into the bye week, coach Lane Kiffin had Sebastian Janikowski attempt a 76-yard field goal. Quarterback Phillip Rivers was magnificent-throwing for 311 yards and 3 touchdowns, while moving him to number fourteen on the National Football League all time list for yards completed.
They were treated to the rarest of occurrences this year: A Chargers victory. Verrett has three interceptions in his last six games, while Cooper is Oakland’s first 1,000-yard receiver for a season since Randy Moss in 2005. The Raiders went on to beat the Cleveland Browns in the AFC title game and the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. Linebacker Koa Misi (back) left the San Diego game in the third quarter and didn’t return.
“It’s not a one-man show, but everybody else has to do their job better, and he has to do his job better on certain things”. Woodhead ended up finishing with one of the games of his life as he had six catches for 50 yards and three touchdown scores.
