Philip Rivers is 0-7 against Tom Brady Rayshawn Jenkins Jerseys Stitched , whose team is 8-0 at home this season. So, basically, something’s gotta give.Yes, Rivers has never beaten Brady. The veteran San Diego/L.A. signal-caller has beaten the Patriots only once in his career, a 30-10 win during 2008, when Brady was out with a torn ACL. Every other time the two teams have played since Rivers became the starter in 2006, the Patriots have won.That fact was news to Chargers coach Anthony Lynn.“I was not aware of that,” Lynn told New England reporters when asked on Wednesday to react to Rivers’ run of futility vs. Brady. “But that’s in the past. That’s what I think about. It’s in the past. We have an opportunity to do it on Sunday so let’s make the most out of it.”Rivers shrugged at the reality that he’s never gotten the better of Brady.“It’s not something you think about a whole lot,” Rivers told New England reporters. “It exists and it’s there but again, and I mean this, I don’t feel that I’m playing Tom. Certainly it’s a Tom Brady-led team and we know how things work with the quarterback and the head coach that have the record attached to it. We’ve got a heck of a challenge Youth Austin Ekeler Jerseys , our offense, going against that defense and how disciplined they play and how well they play especially this time of year. We’ve got our work cut out on that side of the ball. Yeah, I think you’re aware of that stat that is out there but it’s not something that I spend much time thinking about.”Two of the losses came in playoffs games, in consecutive years. In 2007, the Patriots got their last win of an 18-1 season by beating the Chargers to get to the Super Bowl. The prior year, the Chargers seemed destined to get to the Super Bowl, with a 14-2 record.Leading by eight in the fourth quarter, Chargers defensive back Marlon McCree intercepted Brady to seemingly clinch a victory. And then McCree fumbled the ball, the Patriots recovered, they tied the game, and they won it with a late field goal.This could be the best Chargers team since the 14-2 season Austin Ekeler Jerseys Stitched , but New England is never easy to beat at home. In what will be one of their last meetings, Rivers’ chances of getting to his first Super Bowl now hinge on getting his first career win over arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, at a time when Father Time could be poised to make a strong kick to the finish line.

His 1.41 yards per route was 54th among 96 qualifying receivers in 2018 and a far cry from his 1.83 figure in 2016.Top-10 Free Agent Wide Receivers in 2019 - Austin GayleCast into a primary role in 2016, Los Angeles Chargers’ Tyrell Williams caught 69-of-111 targets for 1,059 yards and seven touchdowns en route to a 75.6 overall grade. Yet, Keenan Allen’s return from injury and the addition for first-round Clemson product Mike Williams pushed Williams into the backseat in 2017 and 2018. Listed at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, the soon-to-be 27-year-old Williams should have ample suitors willing to bet on his potential in free agency.Michael Schofield Cheers on Wife’s Historic, Barrier-Breaking Moment - Ricky Henne“It was just incredible Youth Darius Philon Jerseys ,” the Chargers guard said. “I wish I could’ve been there, but she didn’t realize she was going to be actually skating until about four hours before the event, she found out. So to actually be able to watch it on TV was just incredible, just the history she made, the amount of not even just women but people she’s inspired by doing that, it’s incredible.”Chargers Lend Support to Celebrate OC Classic’s 60th Anniversary - Rachel Gossen“It’s awesome,” said Ron Amburgey, Vice President of the Board of Directors of Costa Mesa United. “We would not be doing this event if it wasn’t for the help from the Chargers. They’ve been huge.”The curious case of Forrest Lamp - Travis WakemanLamp was a highly-touted offensive lineman coming into the NFL after starting 51 games at left tackle for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Meyer loves to move his tackles and get them in space, while using a lot of jump sets. This leans more towards athletic and functionally sound players, which is what Dillard is.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
