SAN DIEGO -- Theyre still the San Diego Chargers, at least for four more home games.Beyond that, the Chargers are uncertain about their future home. At least its not as hyper-hot as last year, when ownership was working with the rival Oakland Raiders on a plan for a stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson. That plan was rejected by NFL owners, who nonetheless gave the Chargers the option to join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019.The Chargers then spent most of this year campaigning for a measure that would raise $1.15 billion for a $1.8 billion stadium and convention center annex in downtown San Diego that would replace aging Qualcomm Stadium. All the while, they reminded everyone that they hold the option to move to L.A.Voters called their bluff, voting it down 57-43. It needed 66.7 percent to pass.Chargers chairman Dean Spanos said hell consider his options but wont announce a decision until after the season.Interestingly enough, their first game since Election Day is at home against the Miami Dolphins. The Chargers beat the Dolphins on Dec. 20 on an emotional day in which fans thought they were seeing their beloved Bolts in San Diego for the final time.Quarterback Philip Rivers said hes optimistic enough groundwork has been laid for the team and city to eventually agree to a stadium deal.The love from team to the city and the city to the team has been awesome over the last 55 years and the last 13 Ive been here, Rivers said. I cant see us not here. We have four of our last seven at home and a chance to bounce back and get back in the thick of it, and hopefully we can have some exciting home-field advantage type of atmosphere games down the stretch.Here are some things to look for when the Chargers (4-5) host the Dolphins (4-4):MOO: Being from Wisconsin, Chargers second-year running back Melvin Gordon is OK with coach Mike McCoy referring to him as a bell cow after he went off for a career-high 196 yards on 32 carries and his NFL-leading 11th touchdown in a home victory against Tennessee. He also caught four passes for 65 yards.I mean, its cool, Gordon said. Its all right. I like it, I guess. You hear it a lot at Wisconsin, going there.Gordon is running hard and quickly making people forget his miserable rookie season. Hes run for 768 yards and nine touchdowns, with two receiving TDs.Gordon became the bell cow after Danny Woodhead was lost to a knee injury in the second game.Mores been put on his shoulders. Hes played more snaps and had a lot more carries, Rivers said. You dont want to run him down, but at the same time the way hes going, you want to give it to him as much as he can. I dont think its a deal where hes going to get it handed to him 30 times, but were going to need him to keep running the way hes running, because when were able to be that balanced and have those type of drives, it makes us that much better.ANOTHER RUNNER: Miamis Jay Ajayi has rushed for 100-plus yards in three consecutive games, including two straight 200-yard games The last Dolphins running back who had three or more consecutive games with 100-plus yards was Reggie Bush, who had four straight in 2011.Ajayis 529 yards in those three games are third most in team history behind Ricky Williams, who rushed for 587 and 545 yards in two three-game stretches in 2002.OPENING HOLES: Dolphins center Mike Pouncey reached the second level to block a linebacker and seal off a lane for a 20-yard touchdown run by Ajayi. Thats just one small example of the job the offensive line has done to pave the way for the Dolphins recent turnaround.Youve got four guys who can play left tackle, and youve got probably the best center in football, in my eyes, Branden Albert said. Our talent and our experience is helping us out.Albert is the starting left tackle, but left guard Laremy Tunsil, right guard Jermon Bushrod and right tackle JaWuan James all have experience at left tackle.DEEP IN RETURNERS: Darren Rizzi is in his eighth year as the Dolphins special teams coordinator, and hes never enjoyed so much depth among his returners.Rookie Kenyan Drake ran back a kickoff 96 yards for the winning touchdown last Sunday against the Jets. Jakeem Grant scored on a 74-yard punt return in Week 5. Jarvis Landry is averaging 11.1 yards on punt returns.Its a good problem to have, Rizzi said. For a special teams coach to have options back there where youre not just a one-trick pony, it really helps you. This is the first time in eight years weve had this many guys Id feel comfortable putting back there.GATES WATCH: San Diego star Antonio Gates is three touchdown catches shy of matching Tony Gonzalezs NFL record for a tight end (111).

But as a country and a nation, its those people who are responsible. Im sure if British Athletics or someones done something, itll be the whole team really.Farah, due to run in London in the 5,000 metres on Saturday night at the Olympic Stadium, added: You dont want to see bad or negative inn our sport because, like Usain [Bolt] and myself and the rest, we work so hard and then something happens and it takes away our limelight.dddddddddddde have to do what is right. And we just have to leave it to the people whose job it is to ensure a clean sport.Farah will be looking to fine-tune his form before Rio but, as the reigning Olympic champion in 5,000 and 10,000 metres, his Kenyan rivals have already admitted they are also aiming to leave a marker in London.Isiah Kiplangat Koech, who finished third behind the British record holder in the 2013 world championships, will be among the Britons competition.Id like to win the race but most important thing is to respect the guys and see what I can come away with, Farah said. Its my last race, and in the past I have always gone out there and done well in my last race. That always gives me a nice little boost and get ready for Rio.We have still a little bit to work on for Rio, a little bit of sharpening up, and there are a few more key sessions I would like to get under my belt, then after that is the Olympics.
