JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Short week. Cross-country flight. Early start. Bye week looming. The San Diego Chargers had plenty of reasons to come out flat in Jacksonville. They avoided all of them. It surely helped that they faced what is shaping up as one of the worst teams in NFL history. Philip Rivers threw for 285 yards and a touchdown, Ryan Mathews ran for 110 yards and a score, and the surging Chargers beat the inept Jaguars 24-6 Sunday. "It all starts with the quarterback, and hes one of the best in the business," Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. "Were very fortunate." The Chargers (4-3) played nothing like a tired team or one looking ahead. Then again, the Jaguars have made everyone look good. Jacksonville (0-7) has lost every game this season by double digits, becoming the first team since the 1984 Houston Oilers to garner that dubious distinction. The Oilers lost their first 10 games that year by at least 10 points. "We didnt have any enthusiasm," Jaguars receiver Cecil Shorts III said. "Its a bad day. Nobodys going to feel sorry for us. We cant feel sorry for us." Jaguars coach Gus Bradley shouldered the blame for not having his team ready, a feeling he got in pregame warm-ups and in the locker room. Jacksonville was praised for covering a 27-point spread at Denver last week and spent part of this past week preparing for a week-long stay in London. Unlike the Chargers, the Jaguars failed to handle all the distractions. "We talk about getting better and we completely missed an opportunity," Bradley said. "Thats what not getting better looks like. Penalties, missed tackles, missed assignments, spirit, effort. We talk about playing with toughness, playing with effort, playing with enthusiasm and playing smart. Thats our style. I dont think we did any one of those four today." Everyone whos watched Jacksonville play this season knows its a talent-based issue. The Chargers dominated every aspect of the game. Rivers completed his first 14 passes, picking apart Jacksonvilles defence with short throws and clock-eating drives. He finished 22 of 26. Mathews topped the century mark for the second consecutive week. About the only thing that went wrong for San Diego was a failed chance to score just before halftime. Rivers tried to run for the end zone with 7 seconds left on third down, but he was stopped short. That gave Jacksonville some momentum and a sliver of hope heading into the locker room. It was short-lived. The Chargers scored on their first two drives of the second half. Rivers, whose TD pass was a 27-yarder to Eddie Royal, made huge plays on both. "Philip is the wheels on our tank," tight end Antonio Gates said. "As long as he can continue to play the way he plays and the line continues to protect him like that, were going to be just fine." Even more impressive: San Diego overcame the loss of two offensive linemen. Left tackle King Dunlap left in the first quarter with a concussion. Mike Remmers replaced him, but went down four plays later with an injury. The Chargers flopped right tackle D.J. Fluker to the left side, moved right guard Jeromey Clary to right tackle and inserted Rich Ohrnberger in at right guard. And they didnt miss a beat. Mathews 3-yard run with 14:08 remaining sent many of the Jacksonville faithful scrambling for the exits early -- again. The Jaguars have been outscored 89-11 in three home games. "We can say we keep doing good things, but if we dont get a win or get more points on the board, its really not doing good things," Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne said. "Were really disappointed right now as an offence. ... Its tough to swallow." Jacksonville was its own worst enemy. Defensive tackle SenDerrick Marks was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct following a 1-yard run on a second-and-34 play, giving San Diego an automatic first down. The Jaguars also self-destructed with several sacks in the red zone. Henne completed 23 of 36 passes for 318 yards, with an interception. He was sacked six times. Maurice Jones-Drew ran nine times for 37 yards and declined to talk afterward. Shorts had eight receptions for 80 yards, but also dropped two slant passes in the end zone. Justin Blackmon caught six passes for 58 yards. The Jaguars had Jones-Drew, Shorts, Blackmon and tight Marcedes Lewis -- the teams top four playmakers -- in the lineup together for the first time this season. It hardly changed the outcome. San Diego, meanwhile, has consecutive wins for the first time this season. "Were starting to build somewhat of an identity, a little bit of an attitude," Rivers said. Notes: Rivers, whose wife hasnt gone into labour with their seventh child, became the second quarterback in franchise history to throw for 30,000 yards. ...

BALTIMORE -- Knowing he needed a strong finish to win the pole at the Baltimore Grand Prix, Will Power summoned every bit of his racing ability Saturday against front-runner Graham Rahal. Power used a late surge to earn his seventh pole of the season, a point in the Izod IndyCar Series standings and some peace of mind heading into Sundays race on a difficult street course. "The final run was absolutely everything I had in me. It was exhausting," said Power, who completed his fifth and final lap in one minute 20.2447 seconds to edge Rahal (1.20.3238). Torontos James Hinchcliffe will start 17th, while Alex Tagliani of Lachenaie, Que., will go from 21st position. It was the Australians 23rd career pole, tying Johnny Rutherford for 11th on the career list. Power also took the first place in last weeks qualifier in California. More important, it gave him an advantage heading into Sundays race on a tight, potentially dangerous two-mile street course. "Securing the pole position is an advantage here because you dont have to worry about trying to pass, and since it is a street circuit there can be a lot of yellows," Power said. Thats why he understood it was imperative to close with flourish Saturday. "I knew I had one lap to do it," he said. "I didnt think I got it. That was definitely a tough one." Rahal will also begin in Row 1. Although it was his best start of the year, the American couldnt help but be disappointed in the finish. "I had a good one going," he said. "I ran into the chicane ... and I locked up the right front. I kind of got it through the chicane but it wasnt pretty.dddddddddddd Lost all our time there pretty well." Rahal was followed by Ryan Briscoe, Dario Franchitti, Sebastien Bourdais and Ryan Hunter-Reay. Briscoe was particularly pleased after sustaining damage to his car in Fridays practice run. Using advice from Team Penske mates Power and Helio Castroneves, Briscore rebounded smartly to finish third in qualifying for a second straight week. "Today was all about getting the confidence back," he said. "After practice yesterday, I tried to base a lot of my information off of Helio and Will since they had fast cars and were really happy with what they had." Franchitti -- whose first-place lead over Power shrunk to 25 points -- struggled from the outset. "The first two I just didnt think I got a clean lap. I didnt put together a whole lap," he said. "By the time we got out on the third one, I think we made the car a little bit better, put a half-decent lap together. Obviously, were not where we need to be." Much of the talk leading to the race has been about a challenging course with plenty of hairpin turns, bumpy terrain, bothersome railroad tracks and troubling chicanes. There is little margin for error and plenty of places to make them.. Franchitti, who will be seeking his career-high tying fifth victory of the year, plans to keep it simple Sunday. Asked what it takes to win, he replied, "Dont make any mistakes and hopefully dont get caught up in anybody elses accident. Hopefully the strategy works out. As we know, theres a million things that go into surviving one of these things, far less winning them." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
