Denzel Perryman Jersey , wanting a new deal that pays him more than the $10 million the Chargers are offering or a trade. Meanwhile, training camp goes on without him.Gordon’s backups Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson are taking advantage of Gordon’s absence.“Definitely, [a good opportunity] for all of us,” Jackson said Thursday after a joint practice with the Rams, via NFL.com. “Obviously when [Gordon’s] here, he gets the majority of the first-team reps. Just for us to be able to mesh with the offensive line and all those guys. The more reps you get, the more comfortable you are playing with the guys around you.”Jackson and Ekeler took over the running back duties in the four games Gordon missed for injury last season, and the Chargers went 4-0. Ekeler had 958 total yards and six touchdowns last season in his second season, while Jackson had 341 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie a year ago.“They’re working hard,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. “[Jackson] is doing a good job, and Austin had a couple of nice runs today. I’m really happy with the development of some of these young guys.”The Chargers have six running backs on their 90-player roster http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-craig-mager-jersey , with Gordon on the did not report list. Gordon’s absence has given the backs who are in camp “Even if [Gordon] was here, we’d have the same mentality,” Ekeler said. “We wish he was here. Shoot, he would help our team. He’s a Pro Bowl running back. But even if he was here, we’d still have to move forward, and even if he’s not here we still have to move forward.” Then there were 12. The Los Angeles Chargers ended their historic season on a strong note as Philip Rivers, and the Bolts offense delivered another quality performance defeating the Denver Broncos, 23-9. While Los Angeles had clinched a postseason berth two weeks ago over the Kansas City Chiefs, the franchise still had something to play for. While perhaps a long shot since their AFC West rival was playing one of the worst teams in football, Los Angeles needed a win and a Kansas City loss to clinch not just a first-round bye, but also home field advantage throughout the playoffs. On paper Womens Uchenna Nwosu Jersey , it seemed the Chargers were deserving of that honor following a fantastic season. Rivers delivered a mixed outing after going 14-of-24 for 176 yards and a pair of interceptions. He did, however, connect with Mike Williams in the red zone for a three-yard score in the second quarter. Melvin Gordon might have led the team in carries, but Austin Ekeler was the true story. Rushing for 58 yards and touchdown, the second-year runner proved his worth as a ball carrier instead of being an offensive weapon in the passing game.But the defense, man the defense looked the part. Allowing just 370 total yards of offense, Gus Bradley’s unit looked in-sync moving towards the postseason. Adrian Philip led the way with 12 tackles while Kyle Emmanuel finally added something to the mix with a 19-yard fumble return for a touchdown. A well-fought game ended in Los Angeles’ favor as the team picked up their 12th win on the season and finished the year on a positive note. Slight problem, though, so did Kansas City. Los Angeles might have the second best record in the AFC, but they’ll be the underdog for January football. Not in the sense of the spread, but always on the wrong side of the fan base. Unless the team has a date with the Indianapolis Colts or Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Russell Okung Jersey , StubHub Stadium can keep their lights off for the remainder of the playoffs. But the Chargers are not an underdog moving forward. While their first matchup against the Baltimore Ravens will be challenging thanks to the Ravens stellar defense, their journey to Atlanta might become simple with a wild-card round victory. A win over Baltimore and a Houston Texans victory would send the Bolts to a familiar location; Arrowhead Stadium. The last time Los Angeles and Kansas City met, Rivers threw for 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Chiefs abysmal secondary. The defense held wonder boy Patrick Mahomes to season-low 243 yards and forced Damien Williams to lead the offense on the ground game. Los Angeles needed a two-point conversion but found a way to pick up a 29-28 victory. That’s all several weeks away, and plenty can happen along the way. But the Chargers are ready for the postseason. In year’s past, the Bolts have been known for letting the fan base down. Whether starting the year off sluggish or finishing the year off on our sour note, the days of Chargers chaos are coming to a close. Rivers is playing like a 25-year-old version of himself and players are becoming healthy at the right moment. But hey, one game at a time, right? Los Angeles went through the gauntlet and came out on the other side a little brighter. While a single play could change the outlook of any game, Los Angeles well-balanced offense along with strong defensive secondary carried the Bolts past opponents such as Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Kansas City. As the regular season comes to a close http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-emanuel-jersey , the football Gods have given the Bolts a gift: a chance at redemption against the Ravens. While Baltimore looks ready to take on whoever comes through M&T Stadium, Los Angeles has a battle-tested quarterback who has been here before. Plain and simple; if Los Angeles can attack Lamar Jackson, limit the number of short passes and establish a run game, it will be must-watch television for everyone to enjoy. Anything can happen in the postseason. A team that barely made it in could find their way in the championship game. A number 1 seed could be knocked out after getting a week to rest. Anything is possible. No matter what happens next, the Chargers can hold their head high for the first time since 2013. The team known for letting the fan base down is now the one holding their own in a new city. Even on the road, Los Angeles might be the team to beat. They don’t need a fan base cheering them on; they have each other to hold accountable. There’s just one thing left to say; welcome to January football.
