Melvin Gordon: Chargers place Melvin Gordon (knee) on IR
Gordon was hurt late in the second quarter of Sunday’s emotional 30-14 victory against Miami, which might have been the Chargers’ last game in San Diego if Dean Spanos can get his fellow owners to approve a move to an industrial suburb of Los Angeles.

Behind all of it was a lingering sense of surprise that the quest to replace the hulking concrete stadium, opened in 1967 and considered one of the NFL’s worst facilities, reached this point.
Campbell may not be back next season, continuing the coaching carousel in Miami. “We used it for energy and hopefully we gave them something to cheer about”.
The city wants to put the stadium funding measure on the ballot in June if the Chargers agree to a term sheet by early next year; the team says two polls it conducted in August show that about 65% of voters won’t support the plan. With two games ahead of what is sure to be an adventurous offseason, San Diego is 3-5 at home, 1-5 on the road and winless against intradivisional opponents with a 0-4 mark. But in the last five seasons, always hovering around the 8-8, they’ve made the playoffs just once.
2006 – The Chargers opened the season on Monday night in Oakland and humiliated the Raiders 27-0 in the return of coach Art Shell.
“Tough, disappointed, frustrated, upset, mad, angry – any adjective you could think of right now”, he said.
“I guess it’s a good thing to do, but people go for 1,000 yards every year so it’s not really a big thing”, he said.
Carr completed a season-high 77.4 percent of his passes (24 of 31) for 289 yards with three TDs and no INTs in that contest. There is no doubt that he will be back with the Chargers next season, it is just a matter of where he is playing. “I’ve been very fortunate”, Floyd said. It was the first in an 18-game winning streak by the Raiders against the Chargers that carries through the first meeting of the 1977 season.
“I’m feeling how special it has been and maybe it is for the last time”, a misty-eyed Rivers said.
San Diego has dropped its last six divisional games, including four this year, going into the Week 16 matchup at Oakland’s coliseum.
Said Dana Ostrom a San Diego native now living in Orange County: “My father was at the first Chargers game ever played here, so I guess it’s appropriate I’m here for the last one – if this is this last one I guess”.
-RUSHING OFFENSE: F. Running back Lamar Miller (nine carries, 12 yards) led a ground game that amassed 44 yards on 19 carries. It’s possible Gordon will be available for the final two games.
