Chargers face Raiders Christmas Eve in Thursday Night Football

It will be an emotional and potentially historic game, as the Chargers may be playing their final game at Qualcomm Stadium, with the team reportedly interested in moving to Los Angeles next season. Then the Chargers turned in this stinker of a season and just maybe he will reconsider.

The army said on Saturday that over 200 Kurdish militants have been killed in the offensives during the past two weeks. Davutoglu responded by calling the remarks “a treason “.

If the Raiders are to prevail in Woodson’s home swan song, they must improve after being outscored 94-54 during a three-game slide at the Coliseum.

“Everyone was asking a couple weeks ago why (Woodhead) doesn’t get the ball more”, Chargers coach Mike McCoy said after the game.


Tornadoes kill at least 11 in Dallas area
Local officials in a town outside Dallas sent out 4 alerts in the minutes before the tornadoes hit, warning people to take cover. Michael Downard stands outside his house in Rowlett, Texas, Sunday, Dec. 27, 2015, the morning after it was struck by a tornado.

“The front seven said they are not going to run the ball on us”, inside linebacker Denzel Perryman said.

San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, top, is tackled by… The standing ovation to Philip Rivers (who doesn’t want to move his brood to Los Angeles), Antonio Gates and Malcom Floyd, who have been teammates on the Chargers since 2004 (Gates played a year earlier too). Eric Weddle leads the Chargers with 75 tackles, Melvin Ingram has eight sacks and Jason Verrett has 11 pass deflections.

Grimes was credited with two passes defenses and had one of the Dolphins’ two interceptions.

The Dolphins are staggering to the finish line with another dismal December and are now assured of their first losing season since 2012. He was also ineffective in the receiving game, averaging under six yards per catch.

“Been pretty much the theme all year”, said 59-year-old Dale Hardy, a San Diego native and longtime season-ticket holder.

Woodhead now has all six touchdowns scored by a Charger running back this season. It might also be the final game the Silver and Black play in the East Bay. The Dolphins entered the game already eliminated from the playoff race and played like it, trailing 23-0 at halftime. White became the 33 player in National Football League history to reach 800 receptions.

Rookie punter Matt Darr is having a nice season but it’s highly unlikely he’d get Pro Bowl mention.

The 15th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Gordon was a 2,000-yard back at Wisconsin and touted as the answer to the running back woes in San Diego after Ryan Mathews moved on to Philadelphia in free agency. Undrafted rookie LB Neville Hewitt, the usual backup, split time with Paysinger but that was mostly in the second half.

“After [Albert] went down and Pouncey, those guys rallied and we got a 12-yard touchdown, and they battled and gave us a chance”, Campbell said. The Chargers didn’t do anything great, and kicker Josh Lambo missed a field goals and an extra-point.
