Chargers RB Melvin Gordon out for season with torn knee cartilage
San Diego Chargers rookie running back Melvin Gordon has torn cartilage in his left knee and will miss the final two games of the season.

He finished the day with eight carries for 10 yards, six catches for 50 yards and all four of the team’s touchdowns, becoming the first Charger to score four times in a game since LaDainian Tomlinson did it in 2007.
If this was the last National Football League game in San Diego, the Chargers at least provided a win for their long-suffering fans.
“San Diego Super Chargers”, the disco ditty from the Air Coryell years, rang out after rookie Josh Lambo kicked a 28-yard field goal. Chairman Dean Spanos, whose family has owned the team since 1984, has sought to move the team to Los Angeles, to the extent of breaking off negotiations with San Diego officials this past summer.
The team’s franchise quarterback lingered after the game signing autographs, signs, and even his shoes. Kroenke has proposed a stadium in Inglewood. Rivers has three touchdown passes in his last three games. “I know it’s one of those (where) we still don’t know; maybe we’ll get to trot back out there and play again”.
Philip Rivers is a guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve. Two years later, with the Chargers having moved to San Diego, Gillman said, “There isn’t a doubt in Al Davis’ mind that he is the smartest man in the game”. Rivers was intercepted by Reshad Jones, who weaved through traffic for 42 yards before guard Orlando Franklin stripped the ball.
There are only two more games this season. The Raiders embarrassed the Chargers in San Diego in October, racing to a 37-6 lead in the third quarter before settling for a 37-29 win. He never rushed for 100 yards in a game and never scored a touchdown of any kind. Weddle then went to the Chargers logo at midfield and stretched out on his back. San Diego wide receiver Lance Alworth, coached by Davis with the Chargers, caught five passes for 160 yards and a touchdown.
Back in February, the Chargers teamed up with the Raiders on a new $1.7 billion stadium development proposal in Los Angeles.
Wilson completed 21 of 30 passes for 249 yards and found Baldwin for two of his three touchdown passes.
Woodhead scored on receptions of 20, 9, and 9 yards and had a 2-yard run. One of the best players ever to perform at his position got a curtain call when coach Mike McCoy called a time out and took out Philip Rivers, Malcom Floyd and Gates. The Raiders have covered five of the past six meetings and 10 of the last 13, and they will be very motivated to sweep the Chargers here.
