San Diego sports bars brace for Chargers exit

Receiver Amari Cooper became the first Oakland receiver since Randy Moss to eclipse 1,000 yards in their rookie season.

The Chargers scored their first touchdown in three home games midway through the first quarter.

Lose both, and the Dolphins will have their worst record since 2007, when they went 1-15.

Miami is 3-0 SU this season, when leading at the half.

SAN DIEGO (AP) – If this was the Chargers’ last National Football League game in San Diego, it ended with a victory and a surreal postgame scene. The Dolphins entered the game already eliminated from the playoff race and played like it, trailing 23-0 at halftime. “I can get emotional thinking about riding down that hill for the last time into that stadium, and the feeling you always have”. “They fought all the way through”.

Focus isn’t the only issue. After putting up just 30 receptions, 346 yards and two touchdowns through his first 14 games with the Dolphins, it’s safe to say Cameron isn’t going to be worth that kind of money next year. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins are coming off a loss to the New York Giants by a 31-24 final score and are now looking to avoid being locked into a losing record for the year. “You still have reasons to go out and cheer on your favorite player, your favorite team”.

Tannehill has taken a beating this season, but if he’s eager for it to be over, he isn’t saying. It was a touching tribute that seemed to foreshadow the speculated move to the Los Angeles area.

“I know when his feet are right, I think he’s very accurate when he’s on balance and fundamentally doing things”, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said of Carr. “The later they bring in personnel, you identify it, then the later the call comes in so there was a little bit of confusion”. “You can count us out”. The 39-year-old, who has played 11 seasons over two stints with Oakland, leads the team with five picks and is second with 65 tackles in 2015.

The top matchup to watch is between Chargers CB Jason Verrett and rookie WR Amari Cooper.

“He’s taking his game to another level”, Campbell said. “That’s what we work so hard to do each and every week, and we’ve done more losing than winning this year”.

Woodhead now has all six touchdowns scored by a Charger running back this season. Even so, their interim coach continues to win praise from his players.

The Chargers finally were able to score some points Sunday, after combining to score 34 points in their last 4 games, including a trio of 3 points outings versus 3 AFC West opponents. And without Ja’Wuan James, the starting right tackle who has been out for two months, the Dolphins might have to make do with a makeshift line for the rest of the season. Its fourth-ranked passing attack will face the 26th-ranked pass defense of Miami, while its 14th-ranked pass defense will look to limit the 22nd-ranked passing game of the Dolphins.
