SAN DIEGO - Unlike last season at about this time, the San Diego Chargers are in control of their destiny heading into Sundays game against Denver.Last year, the Chargers needed the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens to collapse to make the post-season. Not so this season.San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers said that was the take away from Sundays 23-14 loss to the New England Patriots, which snapped a three-game winning streak.Hey, were still in control, thats the positive, Rivers said Wednesday. But thats going to change if we dont get it done on Sunday.The Chargers (8-5) enter their home finale as the AFCs sixth and final playoff seed.We dont need any help, Rivers said. We need Chargers help.Of course, the Broncos (10-3) have their own plans.Denver could clinch its fourth consecutive AFC West title by winning its NFL-record 12th straight divisional road game if the Broncos beat the Chargers.Its about what you think would be a divisional game in December with a lot riding on it, Rivers said.Rivers and San Diegos offence struggled against New England, getting shut out in the second half. That included Rivers throwing for just one touchdown, 189 yards and being sacked four times.Weve moved past that one, Rivers said. All eyes are on Denver.The Chargers know they have to play better. Repeating last games offensive showing of one touchdown isnt a recipe for defeating Peyton Manning and the Broncos.This is one of those games where you dont need a lot of pep talks and to hype it up, Rivers said. Its playoff time for a lot of teams.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Adidas Continental 80 Heren . Greece was on the wrong end of a 3-0 rout to Colombia in its first game of the tournament. They surrendered a goal in just the sixth minute of the contest, and despite some promising attacking play, failed to crawl back into the match. Japan, on the other hand, struck first in its match with Ivory Coast, with Keisuke Honda putting his side into the lead in the 16th minute. Adidas NMD Korting .

"Win basketball games," Collins said. He will get at least a few more chances.

Adidas NMD Kopen .Michael Briscoe is serving a life sentence for sexual assault, kidnapping and first-degree murder in the death of 13-year-old Nina Courtepatte in 2005.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - There were times in Philadelphia when Andy Reid and Michael Vick would be the last ones in the Eagles facility, going over game film and talking about life late into the night.Often, Reid would jokingly tell Vick what he would do to stop him.For the second time in two years, Reid will have to draw on that knowledge.Vick was handed the starting job for the New York Jets this week, taking over from slumping Geno Smith.And wouldnt you know it? The Jets are headed to Kansas City on Sunday, where Reid has been busy preparing the Chiefs to slow down the veteran quarterback.If there is anybody who knows me its him, and there has been times that he has sat there and told me what he would do if he played me, Vick said. I played against Kansas City last year and it wasnt easy by any stretch. But like I said, thats part of the challenge.Vick was still with the Eagles a year ago, when Reid returned to Philadelphia in his first season with the Chiefs. He threw for 201 yards, but was picked off twice in a 26-16 defeat.The two have remained close, their relationship forged by years of turmoil in both of their lives. It was Reid who gave Vick a second chance when he was released from a federal prison near Kansas City after serving a sentence on dog-fighting charges. It was Vick who lent his shoulder to Reid two years ago, when his son Garrett died of a drug overdose.You guys know how proud I am of him for the man that he is and the things that hes done to change things around and kind of bounce back, Reid said. You never slight Michael Vick.Even at the age of 34, when most running quarterbacks have started to slow down.Hes going to be 50 years old and still be the fastest guy on the field, Reid added.Vick will certainly face a stiff challenge in the Chiefs (4-3), who have the NFLs third-ranked defence and the best against the pass.Kansas City is coming off a 34-7 rout of St. Louis, a game that was so lopsided that its backup defence played most of the fourth quarter.The Jets (1-7) counter with the leagues fourth-ranked rushing offence, which should be bolstered by Vicks mobility. But with a pass offence that is last in the NFL, Vicks ability too connect with wide receivers downfield — and back the Chiefs off the line of scrimmage — could be crucial.ddddddddddddBy the way, that defence is co-ordinated by Bob Sutton, who spent 13 seasons as an assistant with the Jets. In many ways, it mirrors what Rex Ryan does with his own defence.There are a lot of similarities on both sides of the ball, Ryan said. We probably know each other well, its just a matter of going out and seeing who can out-execute who.WHAT ABOUT GENO: Vick has only been appointed starter on a game-by-game basis, and Ryan hasnt ruled out going back to Geno Smith. Whenever I get a shot to play, obviously I have to do better than I have done previously, Smith said. Im going to take it with the same mindset that I have always had, be confident, go out there and play the game.SPEAKING OF QBS: Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith practiced all week after spraining his throwing shoulder before halftime last week against St. Louis. He still finished the game, going 24 of 28 for 226 yards. I was a little sore, Smith acknowledged, but I felt 100 per cent, and felt like I could do everything that I needed to do.SACK CITY: Both teams have 24 sacks, tied for fourth-most in the league. The Jets are led by Muhammad Wilkerson, Calvin Pace and Sheldon Richardson, who played college ball at Missouri. The Chiefs are led by Tamba Hali and Justin Houston, who had three sacks last week and has a league-leading 10 on the season. Houston is a great player, Ryan said. Theres no doubt.SPECIAL DELIVERY: Chiefs running back Knile Davis returned a kick 99 yards for a touchdown against the Rams last weekend. It was the second kickoff return of his career. Hes blessed with great speed along with that size, Reid said. Hes taking great pride in this.TURNOVER TROUBLE: The Jets have only forced three turnovers, putting them on pace to break the NFL record for fewest in a season of 12. Ive been a part of a lot of record-setting defences, but I never thought I would set one in futility, Ryan said. Thank goodness the year isnt over. I bet we wont be there. I bet we wont break that record.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
