Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver Allen Hurns had to be carted off the field on a stretcher during the fourth quarter of the team’s matchup against the San Diego Chargers Sunday.

While we are predicting Bortles to have a big game, Philip Rivers is going to come out and outdo him.
“I know there were opportunities”, coach Gus Bradley said.
Not once, but twice, Bortles led the Jacksonville Jaguars deep into the red zone and then undid his quality work by throwing passes past the line of scrimmage.
After the game, the Chargers had a subdued celebration, their first of any kind since beating Cleveland on October 4. The Jaguars have allowed just 84.3 rushing yards per game over their last four contests and will certainly hold San Diego’s 30th-ranked rushing attack in check today. Let us know in the comment box below. After a Jaguars onside kick, the Chargers were able to recover the ball and run the clock out.
The losing streak in San Diego is over.
I don’t want to get too obnoxious with this, but the San Diego Chargers are out of it. They’re not going to go 8-8 or even sniff the NFL Playoffs. They also snapped a six-game skid in the River City in 2011.
Recording his seven touchdown receptions in consecutive games, Hurns became the first player since 2012 to catch a touchdown pass in seven straight games.
Rivers completed 29-of-43 passes in the game. The over/under for this game is 47 total points. “He’s fantastic. When you prepare the way he does and you get us in the end zone the way he does, give him so much credit”.
“You think about all the guys that protected you over the years, all the guys that made catches”, Rivers said.

San Diego was without starting offensive linemen, King Dunlap (ankle) and D.J. Fluker (concussion), due to injuries. Blake Bortles has led a surprisingly potent offense this season, with receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson emerging as quality targets. Jaguars QB Blake Bortles needs three TD passes to tie David Garrard’s single-season franchise record of 23 set in 2010. “It’s not a whole lot of fun to not play well and to lose and all that stuff”. Melvin Gordon and Danny Woodhead caught 11 passes for 59 yards. He completed 3-of-4 passes for 44 yards on the possession that led to a two-yard receiving score by wide receiver Dontrelle Inman.
