Anleitungen » Oakland and the Los Angeles Chargers both come into

CARSON Bo Jackson Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Sunday’s game ranked in the Top 10 in total offense. The matchup between AFC West rivals is likely to come down to who has the greatest success running the ball.Both teams had a 100-yard rusher in their wins last week. The Raiders‘ Marshawn Lynch had 130 yards in a 45-42 overtime victory over Cleveland , while the Chargers’ Melvin Gordon gained 104 yards on the ground in a 29-27 win over San Francisco .Lynch and Gordon are both ranked in the Top 10 in rushing. Lynch is fourth with 300 yards and has shown flashes of being back to the level he displayed in Seattle from 2011-14, when he had four straight 1,000-yard seasons. Gordon is seventh with 276 yards.Both players are showing they are physical runners in different ways. Lynch has generated 77.3 percent of his yards after contact according to SportRadar, the highest percentage among the top 24 backs. Gordon is tied for third in broken tackles with 12.“There’s not a lot of backs that can say they run the football like he does. He still has elusiveness and speed,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said about Lynch. “This guy likes the physical grind and I think he feeds off of it.”Gordon is also making an impact in the passing game as he is tied for the Chargers’ lead in receptions with 17. That has allowed him to lead the AFC in yards from scrimmage with 475.“He’s really done a great job as a receiver and really been a factor to make huge plays for us,” Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said. “I think he has been driven to get his game to another level, and I think we’re seeing the benefit to that. He’s worked hard. He’s studied it.”Both teams are looking for a win to avoid falling to 0-2 in division games. Quarterback Philip Rivers said the Chargers need to start stringing together wins to avoid falling further behind unbeaten Kansas City.“I think we’re just playing a little better all the way around. A little more complementary all the way around,” Rivers said. “But certainly, you know, this is no time to keep going win-loss, win-loss Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , win-loss. So it’s an opportunity for us to get our second win in a row and get above .500 and keep going.”Here are some other things to watch as the Chargers look for their third straight victory over the Raiders:CARR VS. RIVERSOakland’s Derek Carr and Rivers have split their first eight meetings. Both are coming into the game with momentum.Carr is looking for his third straight 300-yard game, which would be the first time that has happened in his five-year career. Rivers has thrown 11 touchdowns, tying for the most he has thrown in the first four games.PASS RUSH HELPThe Chargers are hoping defensive tackle Corey Liuget’s return from a four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancers helps improve a pass rush that has struggled.Los Angeles has only eight sacks as Melvin Ingram has been frequently been double-teamed. Defensive end Joey Bosa will miss his fifth straight game due to a foot injury.ROOKIE TACKLESThe Raiders will have an untested tackle this week after right tackle Donald Penn was placed on IR with a groin injury. Rookie Brandon Parker will step in and team with fellow rookie Kolton Miller, who is on the left side protecting Carr. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this will be the first time since the 1970 merger that the Raiders will have two rookie tackles starting in a game.DEFENSIVE HELPThe Raiders hope the anticipated debut of cornerback Daryl Worley will help eliminate the big plays that have plagued the defense. Oakland has allowed a league-worst five 50-yard or longer plays and is tied for second worst with 23 plays allowed of at least 20 yards. Worley should provide a needed boost in the secondary as he returns from a four-game suspension for violating the league’s policies on substance abuse and personal conduct.WHOSE HOME GAME?The Raiders left Los Angeles in 1994, but they still have a large and boisterous contingent of fans in the area. When the Raiders played a preseason game against the Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Aug. 21, it sounded like a Raiders home game. Even though the StubHub Center seats only 27,000, it is likely the crowd will be predominantly silver and black.The Chargers have won five of their past six at StubHub, but it hasn’t felt like a home-field advantage. Last Sunday’s game against the 49ers appeared to have more San Francisco fans.

Tampa had reportedly tried to trade McCoy in the last few weeks but was unable to find any team who would take on that contract, which still has three years remaining but leaves Tampa with zero cap hit now that McCoy is off the team.Even though a trade didn’t happen, now that the big DT is on the open market, there will be no shortage of suitors. The Cowboys, Eagles, Browns, Colts Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , Seahawks, etc. would figure to be highly interested in his services, which should come at a discount from his previous $13M price tag. McCoy has 54.5 sacks and 297 tackles in his nine-year career.McCoy is 31, and was the third pick in the 2010 Draft. Sam Bradford was the top pick in that draft, and Ndamukong Suh (another current free agent) was taken second. The top of that draft was a goldmine, and in fact the only player taken between second and ninth who never made a Pro Bowl was.... Rolando McClain, taken eighth by a team whose name we will not mention here.The former Buc has plenty left in the tank, and the Raiders could still use some more impact players along the defensive line. The team is no stranger to acquiring premier defensive tackles who some might think are past their prime. Oakland traded a first rounder in 2009 for Richard Seymour, who was the bright spot of some miserable defenses for the next few years. McCoy wouldn’t cost anything but money.Jon Gruden has jettisoned much of the veteran defensive talent the Raiders were flush with last season, in favor of a youth movement. There’s something to be said for a veteran presence on defense, and defensive line coach Brentson Buckner might be pleased to coach McCoy once again as he did in Tampa Bay when McCoy was at his most effective.
