Anleitungen » The Chargers’ first defensive series was a disaster

today in New England.Chargers defensive back Adrian Phillips left the game on the first series with what appeared to be a left shoulder injury. If Phillips is out that would be a major blow to the Chargers. Phillips is one of the Chargers’ most important players on defense — he wears the helmet with the speakers in it to call the defensive plays — and he led the NFL in special teams tackles during the regular season. He also had an interception and a fumble recovery last week against the Ravens.To add insult to injury Youth Lance Alworth Jerseys , the Chargers gave up a touchdown on the Patriots’ opening drive. Sony Michel ran the ball six times, the last one for a touchdown, and the drive was aided by a pass interference penalty in the end zone. On the Patriots’ touchdown Lance Alworth Jerseys Stitched , the Chargers only had 10 players on the field.The game couldn’t have started any better for the Patriots, or any worse for the Chargers. Michael Badgley was not the kicker that everyone was talking about when Sunday’s games came to an end and that’s a good thing for the Chargers.While they never had a game-winning field goal try clang off an upright, the Chargers have some history with kicking woes in big postseason spots and that makes it easy to appreciate the job that Badgley did in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Ravens. The rookie hit 5-of-6 field goal attempts to continue the strong run that began when he replaced Caleb Sturgis during the regular season and running back Melvin Gordon said he’s “happy that we have somebody here that we can count on.”“It’s the playoffs Derek Watt Jerseys Stitched ,” Badgley said, via ESPN.com. “During the regular season, every point matters. But in the playoffs they matter even more. With the team we’ve got Youth Mike Williams Jerseys , as long as I can go out there and get my side of the job done, we’re definitely a threat, so it’s awesome.”Badgley has now made 20-of-22 field goals and 27-of-28 extra points over the regular season and playoffs Mike Williams Jerseys Stitched , which is a welcome change from past Chargers kickers and a reason for confidence if there’s a need to turn to Badgley in a big spot in New England next weekend.
