But quarterback Philip Rivers is 0-7 against Tom Brady Kyle Emanuel 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 Youth Jatavis Brown Jerseys , 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, 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 Jatavis Brown Jerseys Stitched , 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, 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. Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon isn’t concerned about an injury that sidelined him for much of the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.“Nah, it’s just a little upper body, but I’ll be straight,” Gordon said.Whatever pain there might have been was offset by Gordon matching a career high by scoring three touchdowns, and the Chargers holding off a late Bills comeback attempt to secure a 31-20 win.“It felt good because that just showed us what type of offense we can be,” said Gordon Youth Travis Benjamin Jerseys , who left with just over 11 minutes remaining. “It’s good to have confirmation, so we’ve just got to keep that going.”A week after putting up 541 yards but lacking finish in a season-opening 38-28 loss to Kansas City, the Chargers were less productive but more efficient. Gordon scored on three consecutive drives in helping the Chargers build a 28-3 lead with 1:55 left in the second quarter.The Bills, meanwhile, continued to show signs of unraveling even though rookie quarterback Josh Allen provided the offense some semblance of a spark in his first career start, and a week after a season-opening 47-3 meltdown at Baltimore.Veteran cornerback Vontae Davis created a significant stir by leaving the team at halftime, coach Sean McDermott said. Running back LeSean McCoy did not return and was still experiencing pain in the locker room because of a rib injury. And McDermott revealed he took over the defensive play-calling from coordinator Leslie Frazier to start the second half.On Davis, McDermott said: “Pulled himself out of the game. He communicated to us that he was done.”That move didn’t sit well with Buffalo’s two senior defensive leaders.“I think the only thing to say is he’s where he needs to be right now,” tackle Kyle Williams said.Asked where that might be, Williams responded: “That’s not here point blank and simple.”Defensive end Lorenzo Alexander was equally blunt when asked about Davis.“I don’t have nothing to say about Vontae so I’ll give him a little bit more respect than he showed us today as far as quitting on us in the middle of the game Travis Benjamin Jerseys Stitched ,” Alexander said. “Never seen it, ever. Pop Warner. High school. College. Pros.”Davis was credited with one tackle. He’s a 10-year veteran who signed a one-year contract in free agency in March.The Bills provided Davis a chance to re-start his career after a dispute with former Colts coach Chuck Pagano led to Indianapolis cutting him in November.Davis made his Bills’ debut against the Chargers after being inactive against Baltimore last week.A message left with Davis’ agent, Todd France, was not returned.The Bills defense wilted in the first half in allowing the Chargers 17 first downs and 284 yards.Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers finished 23 of 27 for 256 yards and three touchdowns, including a 10-yarder to Mike Williams , 5½ minutes in.The Chargers defense did their part in limiting the Bills to 110 yards and two field goals in the first half.Melvin Ingram III had 1½ of the Chargers’ five sacks on a defense that was playing without Joey Bosa (foot) and Corey Liuget (suspension).Allen produced two touchdown drives in the second half, including a seven-play, 75-yard third-quarter opening drive capped by Chris Ivory‘s 1-yard plunge.Allen finished 18 of 33 for 245 yards with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin with 38 seconds remaining, and two interceptions.It was a modestly better showing at quarterback a week after Nathan Peterman was yanked after completing 5 of 18 attempts for 24 yards, with two interceptions Youth Corey Liuget Jerseys , and overseeing an offense that managed just one first down over 10 series.MCCOY INJUREDMcCoy was shaken up late in the third quarter when he was tackled from behind and had Buffalo center Ryan Groy fall down on him. Groy landed heavily on the left side of McCoy’s chest as he was on the ground.McCoy returned and had a 3-yard run on the final snap of the third quarter, before missing the remainder of the game.STILL HAVEN’T TRAILEDThe Chargers won their fourth straight meeting against the Bills, and haven’t trailed Buffalo since a 23-14 loss on Oct. 19, 2008.FINALLYIt took nearly 95 minutes of game time for the Bills to finally find the end zone. The drought finally ended on Ivory’s 1-yard plunge with 11:06 left in the third quarter. Buffalo was the only team not to score a touchdown in Week 1.INJURIES:Chargers: Receiver Travis Benjamin did not play because of a foot injury.Bills: RB Taiwan Jones was being evaluated for a head injury after he was tackled in Buffalo’s end zone after his helmet came off while recovering a fumbled punt midway through the fourth quarter. CB Philip Gaines hurt his right elbow while tackling Gordon.ANTHEM UPDATEChargers offensive tackle Russell Okung stood 3 yards in from the sideline with his right arm raised. No other players appeared to protest during the anthem.UP NEXTChargers: At Los Angeles Rams, Sunday, Sept. 23.Bills: At Minnesota, Sunday, Sept. 23.
