San Diego Chargers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

“They have a great quarterback”, said Bradley, speaking of Rivers. We held them in the red zone. Overall, the progress he made to come back and again, we have a guy that has no fear. Let’s show up and what are we going to do about it?

Rivers picked apart the Jaguars, completing 29 of 43 passes for a passer rating of 118 in sending the Chargers to a fifth consecutive win over the Jaguars in the last six years. “The issue is that its tighter windows, it makes you make quicker decisions and there was times when we’ve just got to make quicker decisions”. He was one of Peyton Manning’s top targets in Denver and he was seen as a reliable target in the red zone. He has 167 receiving yards since missing four games with a hand injury.

Perhaps inspired by that success, head Coach Mike McCoy made a decision to go for it and Rivers, who had 10 rushing yards for the entire season, scrambled for 8 yards, diving out of bounds for a first down to sustain the drive. I think the majority of those big plays didn’t lead to any touchdowns.

“Both of them were third and goal and I was trying to extend them as long as possible”, said Bortles of the two costly penalties.

Bortles has to know that this is a league game and that this is not ‘Nam… there are rules.

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2-8): Philip Rivers threw for a season-low 178 yards against the Chiefs after recording a team-record five straight 300-yard performances.

They had won two games in a row and were a game out of first place in AFC South. Only one of their final six games was against a team with a winning record. He was never really given a big role in the beginning, which I’m sure was done on goal to let him adjust to the offense. From the time you start playing football, you can’t throw the ball forward past the line of scrimmage.

“For us, we’re creating a standard of what’s acceptable”, Bradley said. “I’ve got respect for the guy”. Meanwhile, inside linebacker Manti Te’o (ankle), free safety Eric Weddle (groin), offensive linemen King Dunlap (ankle), and D.J. Fluker (concussion) are question marks given their respective injuries.

Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver Allen Hurns had to be carted off the field on a stretcher during the fourth quarter of the team’s matchup against the San Diego Chargers Sunday. After a Jaguars onside kick, the Chargers were able to recover the ball and run the clock out.
