Raiders coach Jon Gruden knows Philip Rivers always keeps Chargers in running

Philip Rivers is off to such a notable start that it was even big news Sunday when he rushed for one yard.

The Chargers, who hadn’t run a quarterback sneak with Rivers since 2011, had the 36-year-old convert a fourth-and-one in the first quarter against San Francisco.

No compatible source was found for this media.

“Just because nobody was expecting that,” offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said, “we thought it might have a chance.”

Through four games, the offense has gained 1,655 total yards.
