DENVER -- Mike McCoy refused to second-guess himself for not putting the ball in Melvin Gordons hands on four snaps from the Denver 2 in one of the worst decisions in Week 8.Well do the second-guessing for him.Gordon leads the league with 10 touchdowns. He was the first running back to top 100 yards against Denver this season. He averaged 4.8 yards a carry.So, with the Chargers trailing the Broncos 27-19 with less than three minutes remaining Sunday, McCoy had Philip Rivers throw four times.In McCoys defense, cornerbacks Aqib Talib (back) and Kayvon Webster (hamstring) were on the sideline along with linebacker Brandon Marshall (hamstring).In McCoys indictment, pass rusher DeMarcus Ware was back from a broken arm to lead a group that picked off Rivers three times, sacked him four times, broke up 13 of his passes and hit him 17 times.Rivers was hurried by T.J. Ward on first down and threw the ball away.He was hurried by Ware on second down and threw it away.Understandably jumpy, he overthrew Antonio Gates on third down.The Broncos sent an all-out blitz on fourth down and Lorenzo Doss broke up a pass intended for tight end Hunter Henry.After the fact, you go, `Shoot, maybe we should have run it once or twice down there, Rivers said.Not so, McCoy.We called the plays we did. We didnt finish them. We didnt score, McCoy said. We called what we did. It didnt work. Im not going to second-guess it now.Instead of a chance at evening the score and maybe going on to win the game and evening their record, the Chargers limped home at 3-5, all but buried in the AFC West, where the Broncos and Raiders are 6-2 and the Chiefs 5-2.Two stars called out the NFL officials Sunday, and only one of them had a legitimate beef.Cam Newton said hes had it with the officials not protecting him and taking the fun out of the game for me.Josh Norman complained about one official who kept throwing flags on him even though he kept committing penalties.In Charlotte, Newton, the leagues reigning MVP, said he simply doesnt get the same calls that other QBs in the league get.Enough is enough, Newton said after Carolinas 30-20 win over Arizona. I dont think theres a person that can go through what I go through and keep their head, you know what Im saying? Hits to the head, thats one thing, but when youre not protected in the pocket, thats another thing. It became the story of my life ever since I came in (to the league). Its always, `Oh, we missed that, Im sorry.Newton said he plans to talk to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about why he is treated differently than other QBs.He said the breaking point for him came in the third quarter when Arizona defensive tackle Calais Campbell came crashing into Newtons knees , reminiscent of the hit that sidelined Tom Brady in 2008.Newton was slow to get up, but Campbell was not penalized.I could have torn my ACL, Newton fumed.In London, Norman was miffed after Washingtons 27-27 tie with Cincinnati about all the times he kept getting called for hands to the face while covering Bengals star receiver A.J. Green.Whos official 88? Norman asked.That would be field judge Brad Freeman.He sucked, Norman said. Im just going to be honest with you. Im going to be straight-forward. He was terrible and I feel like he should be reprimanded.Its Norman who should be chided, suggested NBC football analyst Tony Dungy.All (Freeman) does is watch the wide receivers and defensive backs and those were good calls. Those were not phantom calls, Dungy said. Josh Norman has to understand if you put your hands in the face or you grab jerseys, its going to get called.Rodney Harrison suggested Norman should have been thankful Freeman didnt throw three or four more flags on Norman, and if he does not change his technique, its going to continue to happen.In New Orleans, safety Earl Thomas was flagged for giving too much love to the officials. He embraced side judge Alex Kemp in a bear hug after his 34-yard fumble return for a touchdown in Seattles 25-20 loss to the Saints, drawing a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.That one may have been silly, but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was serious when he complained to the officials about two pick plays that werent whistled, one of which came on a touchdown.These are the plays that challenge the officials, Carroll said, and they were challenged today.And the best call of the weekend had to be Jack Del Rios decision to go for it on fourth-and-3 from the Tampa Bay 41 with 1:55 left in overtime.Derek Carr hit Seth Roberts over the middle and he slipped out of a sandwich tackle and raced into the end zone for the 30-24 win that sets up a showdown with Denver next weekend pitting two 6-2 teams for the AFC West lead.---AP Sports Writers Steve Reed and Brett Martel contributed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton .

INDIANAPOLIS -- All week, Andrew Luck downplayed the significance of the Super Bowl reunion.While acknowledging it was a nice way for fans and former players to celebrate the good, old days, the Colts quarterback insisted it was never a big topic inside the locker room. After Sundays 24-17 victory over Tennessee, Luck confessed it may have helped the Colts get jump-started.You never want to go out and embarrass yourself in front of one of the all-time great Colts teams, so maybe there was a little edge from that matter, Luck said.Turns out, this homecoming weekend may have been the perfect remedy for the Colts after a disjointed first half of the season.The reunion just happened to fall against an opponent Indy has now beaten 11 consecutive times and that has never won at Lucas Oil Stadium since it opened in 2008.The Colts (5-5) pulled out all the tricks -- running three plays out of the wildcat formation in the first two series, including one that looked like some version of an end-around. Luck wound up throwing to an uncovered Frank Gore for 49 yards.And with so many fan favorites back to retell stories, mingle with fans and sign autographs, there was a decidedly festive atmosphere throughout the first half -- almost like the game was the warmup act. During the halftime ceremony Reggie Wayne even jogged to the corner of the end zone where he did his pregame dance, went through the motions once more before bouncing across the end zone and into the interview room.Indy rosee to the occasion against the Titans (5-6) and even impressed the former stars .ddddddddddddWell, they are doing all right, so we dont need to do much, Wayne said shortly after halftime. But if they need me...Those two quarters were easily the most impressive of Indys entire season.Luck led the Colts to touchdowns on each of their first three drives and got them into scoring position on the fourth drive, too. But Adam Vinatieris streak of 44 consecutive field goals ended with a rare miss from 42 yards.Vinatieri and Robert Mathis, who had one sack, are the only Colts from the 2006 championship team still on Indys roster.I never thought when I first started that Id play 21 years-plus or whatever, said the 43-year-old Vinatieri, who atoned later by making a 49-yard field goal for the final points of the game. Im just very blessed and very happy that Im still out here doing it.Especially when hes playing on a team ready to fight its way back into playoff contention, even if everyone else wants to write off Indy.But as Vinatieri and Mathis recall, thats exactly what was being said about the Super Bowl champs 10 years ago.These guys are here to remind the (2016) team that youve got to believe, team owner Jim Irsay told the crowd, because you never know when the miracle will happen.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Youth NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Gear Camo China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Online ' ' '
