COSTA MESA White Jason McCourty Jerseys , Calif. (AP) — Anthony Lynn often said that the Los Angeles Chargers winning six of their final seven games in 2017 helped serve as a springboard to this season’s success, which resulted in the team’s first postseason berth in five years.Lynn is hoping Sunday’s 41-28 loss to New England in the AFC divisional round can serve the same purpose for next season’s group.“We had a good year … won our first playoff game in a long time but after that butt kicking yesterday no one will be complacent. That’s about the only positive I can take from it,” Lynn said.Los Angeles tied for the best regular-season record in the AFC at 12-4, but Kansas City won the AFC West by virtue of a better record in division play. While Kansas City got home field throughout the playoffs and a first-round bye, the Chargers had to head east for two straight weeks. They defeated Baltimore 23-17 in the wild-card round but found themselves down 35-3 at halftime to the Patriots.The Chargers have posted a winning record in Lynn’s first two seasons. They lost their first four games in 2017 but stormed back to finish 9-7. After starting 1-2 this season — which included losses to the Chiefs and Rams — Los Angeles won 10 of 11, which included second-half rallies on the road against Pittsburgh and Kansas City.The loss Sunday to the Patriots marked the first time all season the Chargers lost a road game outside of Los Angeles. Whether they can take another step next season will be one of many questions going into the offseason.“I don’t think we are that far off,” quarterback Philip Rivers said. “I think the biggest thing to acknowledge is how hard it is to get back to where we were yesterday. That was a heck of a task to get where we were. As long as we acknowledge that and don’t think it will just happen again will help us.”Here are some things to watch as the Chargers begin their offseason:ONE MORE GAME: Lynn and his staff still have one more game to coach this season. They were the highest-seeded AFC team knocked out of the divisional round, which means they will be the coaching staff for the Pro Bowl in Orlando on Jan. 27. Lynn said the coaches will take a couple days off before getting ready to head to Florida.“It’s pretty hard to be excited about anything right now. We’d rather be getting ready for next week’s opponent but I’m sure it will be fun,” Lynn said.The Chargers had a league-high seven players elected to the Pro Bowl. Safety Adrian Phillips might not make the trip after suffering an arm injury against New England.RIVERS BEYOND 2019: Rivers has one more season remaining on his contract. There hasn’t been any discussion between the two sides, but with the Chargers moving into the new Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park in 2020 Jason McCourty Jerseys 2019 , trying to get their franchise quarterback locked up with an extension could be easier to accomplish before training camp starts in late July.Rivers had one of the best seasons of his 15-year career. His 105.5 passer rating equaled his career best from 2008 and ’13 and his 8.5 yards per attempt average was his best since 2010. His 68.3 percent completion rate also was the second best of his career.RETAIN PHILLIPS: Phillips will be an unrestricted free agent and could be one of the top players to hit the market. He was an All-Pro selection after leading the league with 19 special teams tackles. He also started seven games as the third safety and posted 77 tackles, including five tackles for loss. In the playoff win against Baltimore, he became the first player in nearly two years to have an interception and fumble recovery in a postseason game.GATES FUTURE: Tight end Antonio Gates was re-signed in September following an offseason injury to Hunter Henry. With Henry recovered and Virgil Green serving as a blocking tight end, Gates might be saying goodbye for the second straight season.Gates, who caught a touchdown against the Patriots, told reporters after the game he would love to play for a 17th season. He had 28 receptions for 333 yards and two touchdowns during the regular season while splitting time with Green.POSITION OF NEED: Linebacker. Denzel Perryman and Kyle Emanuel, who were both drafted in 2015, will be free agents in a position group that is lacking in depth and experience.

Everything from here on out is what we refer to in the business as a Pretty Big Deal.What business White Adrian Clayborn Jerseys , you ask? Good question. I have no idea what I’m saying right now.The list so far:20. Danny Etling gets half of the Giants fired with an 86 yard touchdown run.19. The Patriots demolish the Jets at home to secure a playoff bye.18. Julian Edelman bounces off a Bill and into the end zone on a 4th down conversion.17. Some punt team acrobatics keep the Steelers from getting a touchback.16. Gronk magic returns with a 34 yard touchdown seam route catch against the New York Jets.15. James Develin finds the end zone twice against the Minnesota Vikings.14. The New England Patriots trade for Josh Gordon.13. A Julian Edelman screen pass and an epic Tom Brady fakeout secures a primetime win on Sunday Night Football over the Green Bay Packers.12. The Patriots right the ship with a Week 4 blowout of the Miami Dolphins.11. Special teams lead the way for a decisive road victory over the Chicago Bears.10. Tom Brady avoids the sack on 3rd and goal and dives headfirst into the end zone to take the lead against the Kansas City Chiefs.Every once in a while, a seemingly throwaway play ends up being a major milestone, and that’s exactly what’s going on here with our Number 9 Moment.9. Tom Brady becomes the all time passing yards leader in a win over the New York Jets.A late season win against the Jets has become something of a regular occurrence around here, and November 25, 2018 wasn’t much different. The Patriots were fresh off a shocking loss to the Titans and a bye, whereas the Jets were also coming out of their bye on the heels of a 41-10 beatdown at the hands of the Bills.Their season was in danger of going off the rails completely, and with the Pats coming to town, it was looking bleak.And bleak it was, because the Patriots handled the Jets pretty easily, despite New York taking an early lead. I already recapped the game more thoroughly in my breakdown of the Number 16 Moment Adrian Clayborn Jerseys 2019 , so there’s no need to get too deeply into it again, but in the midst of that 27-13 Patriots win was a 133 yard performance from Sony Michel and a 283 yard passing day for Tom Brady; both solid numbers, but neither are enough to make something like a end of season countdown list. However, with those 283 yards, Tom Brady surpassed Peyton Manning’s number of 79,279 to become the all-time passing yards leader. Nobody, in the entire history of the NFL, has thrown for more yards combined. You wouldn’t notice it if you didn’t see it yourself, because coverage of the record was sparse. They didn’t stop the game. Nobody came over the jumbotron to congratulate Tommy B on yet another milestone. In fact, there is so little out there on this event that good luck finding the actual play that broke the record; you aren’t likely to find it anywhere. If I were both smarter and a legitimate sports journalist White Jeremy Hill Jerseys , I would do the necessary math to figure out exactly which play it was that broke the record by seeing how many yards Tommy B had prior, adding up each throw for this game, and coming to a logical conclusion. But I’m neither smart nor a legit journalist, and so I’ll just say that I think it was a quick out pass to Sony Michel for eight yards in the third quarter that put him over the top. If you’re of a certain mind, feel free to leave some more detail in the comments and I’ll come back and give you the proper credit.Tommy B currently has81,693 total passing yards, with more on the way.If you think that this article is a little sparse for such an impressive achievement, you’d be correct; however, unlike the majority of the time when the short articles I write are the result of me seeing something shiny and wandering off, I didn’t write all that much on Brady’s day because there really isn’t much out there recapping the win beyond the standard postgame coverage. Save for a few articles here and there Jeremy Hill Jerseys 2019 , the world moved on immediately following this game. Just another record for Brady. Ho hum. He now holds 54 of them, for the record, with several more well within reach.Nobody else might care, but we do here at Pats Pulpit. Whenever a player sets a record or reaches a milestone, it always makes the countdown, and one as important as becoming the all-time yards leader for sure makes it into the Top 10.Full game highlights here.Spoiler alert: next on the countdown will be another record, of sorts, now held by Tom Brady.
