JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — If there are "trap" games in the NFL, this probably would be one of them.
For San Diego and Jacksonville,NBA Jerseys China.
"I thought we did a good job eliminating noise last week and we've got more noise this week, so that's another challenge," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said.
The Jaguars (0-6) have an equally daunting task. They are coming off their best game of the season,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, a 35-19 loss at Denver in which got widely saluted for covering the 27-point spread, and are trying to prepare for San Diego while also making plans for next week's trans-Atlantic flight and weeklong stay in London.
Bradley would prefer not to have London as part of the conversation this week, but because the team is heading to the airport Monday afternoon, it's impossible to wait until after Sunday's game to get all the details worked out and disseminated to players and coaches.
The Chargers (3-3) are coming off an impressive 19-9 win over Indianapolis on Monday night, flying cross-country on short rest and playing what amounts to a 10 a.m. kickoff against a winless team that could be taken lightly. And if that's not challenging enough, the Chargers surely have to be looking forward to next week's bye.
BABY TALK: Rivers and Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne have something to talk about before and after the game. Henne's wife gave birth to their first child, Chace, following Sunday's game at Denver. Henne and his wife were going to induce labor this week, before the London trip, but his son came while he was on the plane ride home.
"Obviously it's real in the sense of you can't deny what the clock says," quarterback Philip Rivers said. "But I don't think it's an issue unless the team allows it to become one. ... We practice early all year long. We go out on the practice field at 10:30 or so every day whether we're playing home, road, East Coast, West Coast. So we don't fall into that, 'We've got to go to the East Coast and play an early game.'"
McCoy doesn't want his players talking about or worrying about the cross-country travel — even though they are 1-0 on the East Coast this season. San Diego won 33-30 at Philadelphia in Week 2, also a 10 a.m. start on the West Coast.
EXECUTIVE CIRCLE: Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell and Chargers GM Tom Telesco are longtime friends. They grew up about a dozen miles from each other in Buffalo,Wholesale Stitched Jerseys, attended St. Francis High School together, and were college teammates at John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland. Caldwell and Telesco will reunite Sunday. "We used to laugh about it back when we were scouting assistants: 'Could you ever imagine being a general manager?'" Caldwell said earlier this year. "And here we are about 17 years later."
Aside from potential pitfalls facing both teams,NFL Jerseys Outlet, here are five things to know heading into Sunday's matchup:
Chargers coach Mike McCoy, meanwhile, probably winced a little when the NFL schedule was released and he realized he would essentially have three days between playing Indianapolis and traveling to Jacksonville.
WR WOES: The Chargers and Jaguars have used a slew of backup receivers this season. San Diego lost receiver Danario Alexander (knee) in the offseason and Malcom Floyd (neck) in Week 2, creating opportunities for Vincent Brown and third-round draft pick Keenan Allen. The Jaguars played four games without suspended receiver Justin Blackmon, and have turned to backups because of injuries to Mike Brown and Stephen Burton. Now, it's unclear whether Cecil Shorts III (shoulder) and rookie Ace Sanders (concussion) will be able to play Sunday.
"Everyone looks at their schedule and says, 'Hey, there are one or two things we're going to have to work through,'" McCoy said. "But that's all part of it. You've got to line up and play 16 games, so we're not worried about that. ... There are no excuses in this business."
OPEN GATES?: The Jaguars have struggled to cover tight ends all season,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, so San Diego's Antonio Gates could have a huge day. Jacksonville has allowed tight ends to score five times over the last four weeks. Gates, meanwhile, leads the Chargers with 36 catches for 466 yards and two scores.
