Melvin Gordon: Chargers place Melvin Gordon (knee) on IR

“The front seven said they are not going to run the ball on us”, inside linebacker Denzel Perryman said.

-It’ll be interesting to see how many Dolphins get selected for the Pro Bowl, especially in light of the recent injury to center Mike Pouncey (foot) and the midseason injury to defensive end Cameron Wake (Achilles).

“(He) never shocks you, right?” This team needs a change.

But for interim coach Dan Campbell, the message hasn’t changed and neither has his desire for success. “It was the details today. The focusing on the details, the discipline to the details, that’s what lacked”. “It just didn’t show up.” . A more appropriate cry would have been “Danny Woodhead”.

Woodhead caught TD passes of 20, 9 and 9 yards, and scored on a 2-yard run for the Chargers (4-10), who failed to score a touchdown in each of their previous two home games.

Ryan Tannehill scored his first rushing touchdown of the season and rookie Jay Ajayi scored his first touchdown of his career. Maybe only getting touchdown receptions were too easy.

Christmas Eve could be the last time the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders meet while residing in different cities. But he was drafted by the Chargers and he started a family in San Diego. That was until Miami waited until 1:32 left in the third quarter to finally put some points on the board.

If Sunday was the Chargers’ last National Football League game in San Diego, it ended with a victory and a surreal postgame scene.

SAN DIEGO On potentially the last day the Chargers will spend in San Diego, a group of Christmas carolers stopped by the press box at Qualcomm Stadium and began singing.

“Charles Woodson is one of those players that comes along and reminds you why you love the game”, Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie said. Miller gained but 12 yards on nine carries as he then fell out of favor of the coaches. “They’re all really undergoing studies as we speak”, Campbell said, adding that he wasn’t optimistic. Eric Weddle leads the Chargers with 75 tackles, Melvin Ingram has eight sacks and Jason Verrett has 11 pass deflections.

“We got the Raiders who didn’t score until late, late, late in the game”.

Lost in the emotion was that the Chargers played better than they did in failing to score a touchdown in three of their last four games, including in each of their last two home games.
