It’s not always a good thing to lead the league in passing yards, and Philip Rivers is a prime example. Rivers is throwing so often because the San Diego Chargers are constantly in catch-up mode.

The Chicago Bears visit the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium tonight for Monday Night Football. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the game.
At the moment Ben Roethlisberger was carted off the field with yet another injury, bettors on the Pittsburgh Steelers should have expected the worst. Roethlisberger’s health was not the concern. The point-spread cover was in critical condition.
Philadelphia quarterback Sam Bradford and wide receiver Jordan Matthews connected on a 41-yard touchdown on the first possession of overtime, lifting the Eagles to a 33-27 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.
Dozens of University of Missouri football players plan to boycott games and practice until the school’s president resigns over accusations of mishandling race issues.
It’s skewed in a way. The total through nine games includes a 517-yard effort against awful Idaho State, which I am fairly certain the lunatic wearing a red hat and acting as lead cheerleader on UNLV’s football sideline each week could run for over 100 against.
The final numbers look great. Blake Decker threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns.
UNLV was sputtering and tied with a Hawaii football team playing for an interim coach and mired in a season going nowhere. The Rebels, in other words, were in a bad spot.
The Rebels are favored by 9.5 points when they host the Rainbow Warriors today at Sam Boyd Stadium.
It’s too soon to label the season a fiasco in Philadelphia, because it’s only the halfway point and a bad division is up for grabs. Still, the spotlight on coach Chip Kelly is getting intense, and he’s overweight and sweating.
In his first season at Houston, football coach Tom Herman has been a big reason the American Athletic Conference is making some noise nationally.
A general consensus has formed that UNLV has made strides on the football field this season, putting in a consistent and quality effort despite not having the manpower of many of its opponents. Coming close is an indication the program is on the right path under first-year coach Tony Sanchez. But at some point the Rebels need to begin winning games.
Get all the scores, stats and stories from Friday night’s high school football games.
Take a look at tonight’s high school football action across the Las Vegas Valley.
If UNLV’s Blake Decker plays, this category goes to the Rebels. If not, give it to Hawaii and Ikaika Woolsey. Expect Decker to play, but will he be effective with an injured right shoulder?
