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. Michael Thomas Authentic Jersey .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 . Willie Roaf Womens Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Nick Fairley Authentic Jersey . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. http://www.authenticsaintssportsonline.com/saints-brandin-cooks-gold-jersey/ . Pettersen, winner of last years Evian Championships, had nine birdies and three bogeys, holding off a series of challengers led by Marion Ricordeau of France. The second-ranked Norwegian made her season debut after missing the LPGA Tours opening event last month in the Bahamas because of a shoulder injury. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Christian Colon hit his first career home run, and top prospect Hunter Dozier doubled for his first major league hit.They both came way too late for the Kansas City Royals to avoid an embarrassing sweep.Stephen Vogt homered and drove in five runs, Ryon Healy hit a mammoth three-run homer and the Oakland Athletics routed the defending World Series champions 14-5 on Thursday night.Oakland put a huge dent in the Royals diminishing playoff chances, sweeping a four-game road series at Kansas City for the first time. The As outscored the Royals 43-12, the largest run differential for Oakland over a four-game series in franchise history.Kansas City has lost eight of its past nine home games.Its been tough, Colon said. Were not used to this, so its hard.Royals starter Edinson Volquez (10-11) faced 22 batters and nine scored in 3 1/3 innings. He allowed nine runs on seven hits and four walks.In his past four starts, Volquez has given up 20 earned runs on 32 hits and nine walks in 18 1/3 innings for a 9.82 ERA.I was inconsistent, Volquez said. Ive been getting hit with all my pitches. I think my changeup always gets me out of trouble, but Im still getting hit with that pitch, so thats a bad sign for me.Chris Young, the third Royals pitcher, yielded the home run to Vogt and has served up 28 in 85 innings.Colons three-run shot in a five-run ninth came in his 293rd major league at-bat.It felt good off the bat, he said. I wish it was under different circumstances, but it is what it is.A big monkey off my back, for sure. Hopefully theres many more.Dillon Overton gave up all the Kansas City runs in the ninth and has allowed 12 homers in 22 1/3 innings this season.I faced Overton a couple of times when we played (Triple-A) Nashville, so I knew he was a fastball/changeup guy, Dozier said. He has a good changeup, so I was just looking to hit a good fastball early and he gave me one.Those were the only Royals bright spots in the finale of a dismal series.Vogt had a two-run double in a five-ruun third, walked with the bases loaded in the fourth and hit a two-run homer in the sixth. Cameron Jordan Authentic Jersey. The five RBI matched a career high.Healy, who had three hits, homered in the third with Khris Davis and Yonder Alonso on base. The ball traveled an estimated 480 feet, landing above the left-field fountains.Has he ever hit a ball farther?I really dont think so, Healy said. It was a changeup. I saw it well. I kept my hands back and tried to drive the ball to the outfield to score those runs.Marcus Semien, who knocked in four runs and hit a three-run shot in the eighth for his 25th homer, could not believe the distance on Healys drive.Ive never seen a ball hit up there, Semien said.Healy went 9 for 17 (.529) with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI in the series.Joey Wendle had his first career four-hit game and scored three runs as the As banged out 16 hits.Rookie right-hander Daniel Mengden (2-7), who was 0-4 with a 9.39 ERA in his previous seven starts, was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst. He held the Royals to three hits over seven scoreless innings, striking out six without a walk.VARGAS TO STARTRoyals lefty Jason Vargas, who needed reconstructive elbow surgery and hasnt pitched since July 21, 2015, will start Saturday against the White Sox. Vargas will be on a 45-pitch limit over three innings. Kansas City manager Ned Yost said the goal is for Vargas to pitch 10-15 innings before the season ends. Vargas was 5-2 with a 3.98 ERA in nine starts before the injury last year.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals OF Lorenzo Cain, who has appeared in only one September game because of a sore left wrist, probably wont return this season. Hes not making great progress, Yost said. Hes getting a little bit better, but were starting to run out of time.UP NEXTRoyals RHP Ian Kennedy, who is 5-0 with a 2.16 ERA since the start of August, will pitch Friday against the White Sox.
