With Danny Woodhead injured, time is now for Melvin Gordon

SAN DIEGO -- There was no icing Melvin Gordon in the San Diego Chargers' dismantling of the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that has come to serve as the Washington Generals for this team.

The second-year running back was front and center in San Diego’s offense as the Chargers did what they could not do a week ago against the Kansas City Chiefs -- close out a victory.

With Danny Woodhead suffering a right-knee injury in the first half, the Chargers had no choice but to rely on the team’s first-round selection from last year’s draft.
