STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES -
Chargers travel cross-country on short week. Coming off 19-9 win against
Indianapolis on Monday night, Chargers head East on Friday, getting
extra day to recover from long flight and acclimate to three-hour time
difference. Coach Mike McCoy won't allow team to talk about it or worry
about it, but QB Philip Rivers
says ''obviously it's real in the sense of you can't deny what the
clock says, but I don't think it's an issue unless the team allows it to
become one.'' ... Rivers ranks second in NFL in passer rating (108.7)
and is on pace to top best season (105.5 in 2008). ... Chargers TE
Antonio Gates will make 150th career start Sunday. ... Chargers CB Derek
Cox returns to Jacksonville after spending first four seasons in River
City. Jaguars traded second-round pick to select Cox in third round in
2009. ... Believe it or not, winless Jaguars trying to avoid
distractions for second consecutive week. They were 28-point underdogs
last week against Denver, but played relatively well in 16-point loss.
Now, players and coaches are preparing for Chargers and making
logistical plans for weeklong stay in London; team leaves Monday. ...
Jaguars expect to get TE Marcedes Lewis back from nagging calf injury.
Lewis, who injured calf in preseason, has missed five games. He tried to
go against Indianapolis three weeks ago, but aggravated injury on third
play. ... Jaguars C Brad Meester will play 200th game, becoming 61st
offensive lineman in NFL history to reach milestone.
