Cornerbacks Jason Verrett and Brandon Flowers are considered one of the best cornerback tandems in the National Football League and will provide a stiff test for wide receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, along with quarterback Blake Bortles.

“There’s not going to be another Keenan Allen“, Chargers coach Mike McCoy said.
“The energy was good”.
My Opinion: I think Daniel hit on some key points here.
But the loss of Allen cannot be overlooked, and could end up crippling the Chargers season.
“It’s been tough but we can’t let it linger or we’ll be dealing with another one on this Monday”, he said.
Jacksonville held Green Bay’s offense to 18 first downs and 294 total yards of offense. “It was to constrict Aaron Rodgers, and that’s what we did”. The Jaguars hope to have more luck against Philip Rivers. Lewis believes it’s a sign of things to come.
“We’re going to have to find a way to make him uncomfortable in the pocket, get him off his spot, make him move and make things hard for him because he’s an elite quarterback”. “Hopefully more and more is in the game plan for us”. “Those three guys are excited about doing that”, Rivers said. “It is a big-time challenge for us this week”. “I don’t what it is about the West Coast, but I do know there’s going to be a lot of sleep and hydration and just be ready to play”. Just trust it and go.
The Jaguars played well and looked improved in their home opener against the Packers, but not improved enough to make the key plays when they needed to to pull off the upset.
GALLOPING GORDON: Chargers second-year back Melvin Gordon scored the first two touchdowns of his career in helping the Chargers build their 21-poinit lead at KC. We’re looking forward to the opportunity. “It’s going to be dope”, he said.
I’m going to side with the Jaguars here. Congrats, Savannah, Orlando, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and San Diego! It’s a trend Jacksonville needs to reverse to avoid a 0-2 start for the fourth time in the past five seasons. Blake Bortles completed 24 of his 39 pass attempts for 320 yards however he countered his lone touchdown with an interception.

Jacksonville ended up losing 33-14, extending the franchise’s West Coast losing streak to seven games. However, they are only 1-6 in their last seven games overall ATS, though the line is only -3.
