San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers prepares to pass against the Miami Dolphins during the first half in an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, in San Diego. Even so, despite the offensive struggles, Rivers ranks third in the National Football League in passing yards this season. If so, will they return to Qualcomm Stadium for one more season before departing for Los Angeles?

First pictures from Ramadi in Iraq after it was recaptured from Isis
Security officials have said the forces still need to clear some pockets of insurgents in the city and its outskirts. Iraqi soldiers stormed the center of Ramadi last week, backed by airstrikes from the U.S.-led military coalition.
Chargers fans didn’t really have a good reason to be optimistic this season, which by the way has become quite very bad for the franchise.
Attorney for Chicago officer may seek change of venue
On Tuesday, a grand jury formally indicted Van Dyke on six counts of first-degree murder and one count of official misconduct. The agency said last week that it would look at the police department’s use of deadly force, among other issues.
Regardless of where the Chargers play their games next year, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that fan-favorite Eric Weddle will be gone. “But we get to close it out, if it is the end”.
The Donald strikes back: Trump attacks Bill Clinton’s ‘sexism’
Recounting the good times that flourished during his years in office is a core part of Hillary Clinton’s current economic pitch. Notably, Fox host Megyn Kelly confronted Trump during a debate with his past remarks about women’s appearances.
Chargers running back Danny Woodhead ran circles around the Miami secondary, catching a career-high three touchdown passes while quarterback Philip Rivers showed poise and precision from the pocket. “I’m going to put my heart on my sleeve for coach Campbell, because he has been great through this whole situation”. In the first game, Cotton Davidson threw a 9-yard pass to Glenn Shaw for the game victor. He scored two in the home opener and no running back had picked up another until Sunday.
In last week’s game, San Diego suffered a loss at the hands of the Chiefs 10-3. Pouncey injured his left foot for the second time in four games, and left the field on a cart for the second time in four games.
A victory would give Oakland, a 37-29 victor at San Diego on October 25, its first season sweep of its rival since 2010, when coach Tom Cable twice guided the Raiders past the fourth of Norv Turner’s six Chargers teams.
The Dolphins managed only 231 yards against the Chargers and only 44 rushing.
On the other side of the ball, Melvin Ingram had 2 sacks and a forced fumble today, and Jerry Attaochu had a sack as well as Ryan Tannehill and Miami’s offense had a brutal day. His availability for next Sunday’s game would be questionable. There was an obvious anxiety about the fanbase as they ordered their pancakes and trash talked with the sprinkled Miami fans.
Woodhead might be the one whose performance is ingrained in history, regardless of what Rivers did, and that is because he also rushed for a pair of touchdowns, the first rushing touchdowns for his team since Week One. He was running plays down, he got in on tackles, he did a nice job on special teams.

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. Tight end Antonio Gates (six receptions, 88 yards) also did damage. Emanuel, a rookie, was making his second start of the season. “Certainly, you want to win those games, but that would be one positive to take from it”. On Christmas Eve the Raiders host the Chargers in what could be the final game in Oakland.
