Rivers’ 4 TD passes help Chargers beat Jags 31-25, end skid
Meanwhile, after getting blasted on Thanksgiving by the once 0-7 Detroit Lions (the last team to get a win this season), the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves just one game out of first place. We just want to build on it. What better team to come in to get our second win in a row, a Denver Broncos team that’s playing at a high level.
As for that winning matter, how does San Diego turn a six-game losing streak into even one win at this point? But he’s into rounding into form now, with 29 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns in seven games.
Philip Rivers threw four touchdown passes, two to Antonio Gates, and the Chargers beat the Jaguars 31-25 on Sunday for their first victory in almost two months.
“We gave up some big plays”, Te’o said. The former Athens High School star scrambled for 8 yards on a fourth-and-7 snap from the Jacksonville 38-yard line. It is hard to catch a ball with a broken finger and even when he had started to play again I’m sure he wasn’t 100% healthy.
The injury was serious enough that he was taken to the hospital and released after tests were negative. He carried just nine times for 36 yards.
Bortles to Julius Thomas for 4 yards.
Rivers bounced back in spectacular fashion and put together one of his best performances of the entire season.
The Jaguars other inactives include running backs Joe Banyard and Bernard Pierce, center Luke Bowanko, wide receiver Neil Sterling, safety Craig Loston and defensive tackle Michael Bennett. But San Diego recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.
Jaguars kicker Jason Myers, a Chula Vista native, made all four of his field goal attempts for the Jaguars. McCoy said of Rivers.
Meanwhile in Jacksonville, Jaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns hit his head on the ground while trying to make a sliding catch and needed the assistance of a cart to leave the field. “That takes a long time to be able to do that, and a lot of trust in the coach to give that responsibility to the quarterback”. Rivers trails only Tom Brady in total passing yards, and he’s second behind Drew Brees in completion percentage.
