On Friday, the San Diego Chargers stadium point person said the team will file an application to relocate to Los Angeles. This isn’t the team we thought they were, they’re better. He’s a really soft-spoken, humble guy. Linebackers were making tackles on the intermediate routes.

If McCown can not play next Sunday against Arizona, Browns head coach Mike Pettine said “it would be Johnny” who starts.
“We have players to win, yes we do”.
Cooper caught five passes for 133 yards and a touchdown against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, and in doing so increased his season total to 519 receiving yards. We’ve got to figure it out. It has been remarkable how No. 1 receiver Keenan Allen has responded to this challenge (62 receptions through 7 games) because he hasn’t received much help from Malcom Floyd or Stevie Johnson, as neither have been a factor in the passing game due to injuries.
For Oakland coming off of a bye week, this was a statement game and a huge one in terms of their overall aspirations of a playoff spot. I believe in myself. He plays virtually every snap, and has been strong in rush and coverage. You read it all the time about him.
“It was just a flawless play”, Cooper said.
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers completed 38 of 58 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns.
Veteran safety Charles Woodson said allowing 23 points in the fourth quarter “was nearly like a blueprint for how not to finish games”. When seizing his players and the press’ attention, he would clear his throat and loudly state: “Gentlemen, this is Raider Week!” “We’ve got a high ceiling”.
The Raiders (3-3) were keen from the get-go, racing to a 30-6 halftime lead as they dominated all three phases of the game. Rivers did manage another touchdown pass to Woodhead in that time, and the Chargers once again went for two points.
“I think going forward if there’s a solution here in San Diego, it’s going to have to come from the citizens’ initiative process”. They just have to get better. Whether it was Latavius Murray or Taiwan Jones ripping off big runs, or Michael Crabtree, Amari Cooper, and Clive Walford hauling in crisp, sharp passes from Derek Carr, the Raiders’ offensive machine couldn’t be stopped. “Should I have maybe thrown it to him there?” They kept the Chargers out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.
“It’s pathetic. That first half is pathetic”, said McCoy in a moment of honesty. Now, you probably know that the Raiders have been pretty bad since losing Super Bowl XXXVII to Tampa Bay. We’ll come back, we’ll respond. I kind of started to stumble, but I got my footing back.

A late Falcons interception of Tennessee quarterback Zach Mettenberger, his second of the day, ended the Titans’ final comeback attempt. “We would have like to have done a few things differently, a few things better”. The 31-point advantage entering the fourth quarter was the franchise’s fourth-largest lead after three quarters for a road game. Even so, Verrett, a first-round pick a year ago, had no more luck sticking with Cooper than the rest of the NFL. He was off-kilter, just a hair, in the first three quarters and the results were predictable – especially without a running game to lean on.
