COSTA MESA Forrest Lamp Color Rush Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Melvin Gordon of theore than one elite all-purpose running back in Los Angeles.Even though the Rams’ Todd Gurley has commanded most of the attention when it comes to discussing the league’s top running backs, Gordon is showing that he should be in that conversation as well.Going into Sunday’s game against Arizona, the fourth-year back has six straight games where he has had 120 yards or more from scrimmage. He is averaging 132.1 yards from scrimmage per game, which is second to Gurley. He is also averaging 6.4 yards per touch, which is fourth, while Gurley is averaging 5.9 yards, which is tied for sixth.Gordon has 42 receptions and is on track to surpass last year’s career high of 58. The increased receptions are fine with Gordon as long as he gets the ball.“Coach (Anthony) Lynn especially told me this year, ‘Don’t really focus on the carries. Let’s just worry about the touches.’ He made that big this year,” Gordon said. “I knew when I heard that, it’s just an opportunity for me — whether it’s catching or running (the ball). As long as I’m getting the opportunity Mike Williams Color Rush Jersey , I can take that.”When Gordon has caught the ball out of the backfield, he has made the most of it. He is the only back in the league that has more than 40 receptions and 100 rushing attempts to average over 10.5 (10.7) yards per catch. He is also tied for second in the league with four catches of 25 or more yards.The receptions have also taken less of a toll on Gordon’s body instead of running between the tackles 20-25 times a game.“It can definitely help keep a back fresh, but their touches are just like carries to him. Check-downs, swing passes, those are just extended runs. We’re doing a good job of finding him in those situations,” Lynn said.Gordon missed the Week 7 game against Tennessee because of a hamstring injury, but says he feels good for this point of the season.“I’m just trying to lift heavy on the legs still and trying to get my extra conditioning in when I can,” he said. “I’m banged up like everybody else. I have little nicks here and there. I’ll probably be good on Saturday. I’ll probably be back to where I need to be and then, obviously, the next day you’re back at war.”When Gordon has carried the ball Darius Philon Color Rush Jersey , he’s still been one of the tougher backs to take down. According to SportRadar, Gordon is fourth in rushing yards after contact (399) and second in broken tackles with 27.Gordon could have a prime opportunity for his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season on Sunday. Arizona (2-8) comes into the game with the fourth-worst run defense in the league,Cardinals coach Steve Wilks faced Gurley in Week 2 and said that both Gordon and Gurley are similar backs.“I say similar because they both are what I consider very potent receivers out of the backfield,” Wilks said. “You know they can move them around well out of space as well as making you miss and have the capability to take it all the way.”Wilks said Gordon does take less hits when catching more than compared to running the ball.“Yeah, you take the run between the tackles, and you’re still going to get hits. Last week he didn’t get hits because he ran for 50, 60 yards, whatever it was. It takes less off your body, the pounding between the tackles, yes Adrian Phillips Color Rush Jersey , it does in that way.”Notes: DT Corey Liguet was placed on injured reserve as he underwent surgery for his quad tendon. The surgery was performed by Dr. Jonathan Glashow in New York, and the estimated recovery time is approximately 6 to 9 months. To fill Liguet’s roster spot, the Chargers claimed DT T.Y. McGill off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles. McGill was with the Chargers the first four games this season. . DE Joey Bosa was listed as a full participant in practice for the first time this season. He played in his first game last Sunday against Denver after missing the first nine games because of a bone bruise to his left foot. The Chargers showed up!

This did not look like the same team that played the Ravens two weeks ago.They came out energized and thirsty. Here are the things that shocked me.The defensive line was dominant. The 2017 Melvin Ingram showed up. He was all over the place. The line sacked Lamar Jackson seven times and had him scrambling all day. On top of that, they forced two fumbles, one which sealed the victory. MVP of the game: D line.Big Surprise: They filled Jatavis Brown’s spot with Jahleel Addae. You know your linebacker depth is thin when you start filling their spots with safeties. It was nice to see Rayshawn Jenkins in the free safety spot.A change that I hope stays.Positives:Desmond King’s return game was huge on a day when the offense was going against one of the top defenses in the league.Adrian Phillips was in the right place at the right time. He recovered a fumbled and hauled in an interception.Gates is still getting it done. How nifty was that one handed grab?The old-timer showed up in several clutch moments.The elusiveness of Phillips Rivers. The defense forgot to account for him on several key runs. How can you not game plan for his rushing attack?Negatives:Two blocked kicks. Just when you think everything is okay with the special teams unit stuff like this happens.No targets for Mike Williams in the red zone.Williams has been the go to man in the red zone in the second half of the season.On Sunday, the Chargers chose to pound the ball and kick field goals instead of going to the big receiver.Then there were those times when you were either screaming at the TV or thinking this game is not good for my heart.The freak out moments: The Watt ‘tuck and roll’ touchdown. I still don’t know how that wasn’t a touchdown.The Gordon ‘fumble’ on the one-yard line.That had the potential of a total momentum shift.The Green fumble.Hold on to the ball big fella!The BS holding call on Okung. So bad Okung was spinning a Roger Goodell conspiracy theory after the game.With the game on the line the Chargers delivered.The Clutch moments:Facing a 3rd and 16 with 1:41 on the clock, Rivers makes a 9 yard completion to Gates. A huge gamble to put the ball in the air, but the hall-of-famers made it happen.The speed rush of Uchenna Nwosu and his bit mitt poking the ball loose with 28 seconds to seal the victory for the Chargers.Even after this big win. This looks like a team that is still thirsty. Any Squad. Any Place.
