Chargers Game Recap: in the end In their first match-up of the 2018 season http://www.chargerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-mike-pouncey-jersey , Andy Reid, along with his new starter at quarterback, were able to outlast the Chargers 38-28 by taking advantage of early miscues by the Bolts on special teams and utilizing the electric seed of wide receiver Tyreek Hill.Less than two minutes into the game, the Chargers were forced to punt following a three-and-out. After a lengthy kick, Hill ran around and up the left side, breaking several would-be tackles on his way to returning the punt 91 yards for a score, giving the Chiefs an early 7-0 lead.On the Chargers’ second drive of the game, Whisenhunt called a great drive which worked in several traditional runs by running back Melvin Gordon with an end-around by wide receiver Travis Benjamin which went for a big gain. Wide receiver Keenan Allen hauled in a grab that helped move the chains and the Bolts found themselves driving into Chiefs’ territory.After a 2-yard run by Gordon and an incomplete deep shot to wideout Tyrell Williams, Rivers found Tyrell once again on third down but it went for only a handful of yards, ending short of the first down marker. Chargers’ kicker Caleb Sturgis nailed a 45-yard field goal to make it 7-3 Chiefs.On the Chiefs’ first offensive possession of the game, it only took a handful of plays for Mahomes to find Hill on a quick slant which he took up the left sideline, after breaking another tackle, for his second touchdown of the game.The Chiefs and Chargers went on to trade 3-and-outs before the Bolts found some momentum after finally forcing the Chiefs to punt.Rivers and Gordon combined to make several key plays to keep the chains moving before stalling once again in Chiefs territory. They settled for a 39-yard Sturgisfield goal Brandon Mebane Jersey , closing the gap to 14-6 as time ticked away to end the first quarter.After forcing the Chiefs into another punting situation, the Bolts orchestrated their best drive of the game. On the backs of Gordon and running back Austin Ekeler, the Chargers were able to enforce their will on the ground, popping off several chunk runs in a row. The cherry on top of the drive was a dime of a throw by Rivers to Ekeler in the back-left corner of the endzone as the former UDFA “mossed” linebacker Anthony Hitchens for the score.The touchdown brought the score to 14-12 following the failed 2-pt. conversion where Rivers targeted wideout Mike Williams on a potential back-shoulder throw.The Chiefs were able to extend their lead on the ensuing drive following a Harrison Butker field-goal which grew their lead to 17-12.,On the Chargers final drive of the first half, Travis Benjamin allowed a perfect pass from Rivers to fall right through his hands, causing the offense to stall on a potentially pivotal drive.The Chiefs would go on to incomplete several hail-mary attempts before letting time expire into the half.Kansas City opened up the second half of play by orchestrating a masterful drive that ended in a touchdown that was almost too easy to believe. Using motions and other forms of trickery, Andy Reid single-handedly made the Chargers look silly as they marched right down the field, taking full advantage of the Chargers’ mistakes.The Bolts became the first team to throw an interception on the night as Rivers, following a well-called drive to get into Chiefs’ territory, forced an ill-advised throw into a jumble of players that included Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, and a number of Kansas City defensive backs. It was the Chiefs’ Ron Parker who stepped in front of the pass before getting up and taking it back deep into Chargers’ territory. Fortunately for the Bolts Casey Hayward Jersey , he was soon called down at the spot of the interception instead.The Chiefs did not care about the change in field position as they marched right down and found the end zone, once again. Mahomes found fullback Anthony Sherman on a wheel route up the left sideline. The 250-pound back hauled in the pass over linebacker Kyle Emanuel and strolled effortlessly into the endzone to increase the Chiefs’ lead to 31-12.Rivers and company responded with a touchdown of their own after #17 took advantage of a blown assignment to hit Allen for the 20-yard score after Chiefs’ Orlando Scandrick got caught flat-footed. The touchdown strike narrowed the score to 31-20 after Rivers connected with Old Man Gates for the 2-point conversion.The Chiefs were forced to punt once again on their next drive. Unfortunately for the Bolts, undrafted rookie J.J. Jones, who made the team as a return man, muffed the punt, collected it, and then fumbled it away within the Chargers’ 10-yard line. Reid and Co. took advantage and scored just 4 plays later on a speed sweep by Hill off the left side.With 9:42 left in the fourth quarter, the Chargers were looking at a 38-20 deficit.Fortunately for the offense, they were able to lean into the challenge of scoring as quick as possible. Rivers worked his usual two-minute drill magic as he hit a number of his receivers on one of the most important drives of the game. The effort culminated with a touchdown throw to Tyrell Williams in the back of the endzone, helping nullify some of the receiver’s early-games woes.Down ten points following the 2-point conversion run by Gordon, the Bolts set off to score as fast as possible.After marching down the field once again, kicker Caleb Sturgis pushed a much-needed field goal to the left and the Bolts were forced to stare at a 10-point deficit for the remainder of the game. After forcing the Chiefs into their final three-and-out, the Chargers could not mount a sustainable comeback without anymore timeouts. After throwing a pass to Ekeler over the middle http://www.chargerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-darius-philon-jersey , the back found a little room to run before being tackled as time expired. The Seattle Seahawks figured out just how easy it is to get off track.After successfully resetting its roster and figuring out a style and method for winning in the first half of the season, Seattle took a major step backward in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Seahawks had built a winning formula on running the ball, avoiding mistakes on offense and stopping the run on defense. Now, Seattle has to prove it can beat a quality opponent when the script doesn't play out perfectly."We've found ourselves in most of the games we didn't win right there at the end, so close to getting it done," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "I'm hoping the second half of the season will allow us to finish those games and get the wins that we want and turn this season into a really positive year for us."The 25-17 loss to the Chargers revealed how quickly the Seahawks can lose the style of play that led them to win four of the previous five games. They sit at 4-4, facing a challenging three-game stretch that starts this week with the Los Angeles Rams."I've never looked at this like it's a rebuilding year. (GM) John (Schneider) and I didn't look at this like that. We saw the opportunities to fill the spots and we thought we could keep moving and going," Carroll said. "There's always going to be some growing time and we saw that the first two weeks of the season. As far as expectations, our expectations are higher and that's why we're disappointed that we're not in better shape than we are right now."Seattle still had a chance to force overtime against the Chargers until Russell Wilson's pass for David Moore at the back of the end zone was tipped slightly and fell incomplete on the final play.The Seahawks issues started long before that pass hit the turf.Seattle did not stop the run, giving up 7.3 yards per carry to the Chargers and letting Melvin Gordon run for 113 yards and a touchdown.It did not avoid offensive mistakes. Wilson was sacked four times, with several of those his fault for not getting the ball out or trusting the protection. He also made a critical turnover, throwing an interception that was returned 42 yards for a touchdown by Desmond King in the fourth quarter.And Seattle's own run game was spotty. The Seahawks finished with 154 yards rushing, but starter Chris Carson didn't play the final 2 陆 quarters due to a lingering hip injury. After scoring a touchdown on their opening possession Desmond King Jersey , the Seahawks got just three points out of the next nine drives.The end result was too much reliance on Wilson for a fourth-quarter rally. While Wilson nearly pulled it off, the Seahawks fell to 5-6 at home over the past two seasons and have lost the last five games when Wilson has attempted 30 or more passes dating to last season.Carroll was uncertain the status of Carson or strong safety Bradley McDougald for Sunday's game against the NFC West-leading Rams. Carroll said Carson's hip was a lingering problem coming out of last week's victory over Detroit, and a light week of practice wasn't enough for Carson to handle the load early against the Chargers. Carson had just eight carries, leaving Mike Davis as the primary back. Davis had 15 carries for 62 yards.McDougald didn't play in the second half with a knee injury that Carroll said was "pretty sore" on Monday. McDougald will likely be a very limited participant in practice this week, but Carroll said he was pleased with the performance of backup Delano Hill stepping in for McDougald, who has been one of Seattle's top defensive players this season.NOTES: Carroll said G D.J. Fluker (calf) appeared to be OK. Fluker didn't play late in the game due to the injury and was replaced by C Joey Hunt playing out of position. ... Carroll declined to comment on any speculation about a reunion with DE/LB Bruce Irvin, who was released by Oakland. Irvin spent his first four seasons in Seattle and the Seahawks could use a boost in the pass rush. "I'd prefer not to comment on that right now if you don't mind. Let's wait and see what happens," Carroll said.
