“Just attacking their weaknesses,” said Randle, who was targeted six times and caught six passes for 132 yards in his most productive game of the season. “Up front, they have some great pass rushers,” he added, singling out Chris Long and Robert Quinn.
“We wanted to run the ball and get them tired a little bit,” Randle added. “On third down, hopefully have some manageable situations.”

…DANCE FEVER
Beckham likes all touchdown celebrations, even when they’re not his. So no, he didn’t have a problem with Rams rookie running back Tre Mason, who scored a 10-yard second-quarter rushing TD to close the game to 20-10, then did Beckham’s “Whip” dance, followed by Victor Cruz’s salsa.In fact, Beckham said, he knew something was coming, because Mason had hinted it to him on Saturday night.
“Tre is like a brother to me,” Beckham said. “I saw him last night before the game. He told me. . . ‘I got something for you tomorrow.’ And I was kind of thinking we’ll see what happens. All you can do is laugh, and it feeds you even more.”

Roger Goodell nixes L.A. team in 2015

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nfl/story/_/id/12056126/roger-goodell-tells-teams-nfl-approve-los-angeles-relocation-2015-season?ex_cid=espnapi_public
espn.go.comAs if there were any questions, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell put an end to them this week when he told the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams that there will not be a team that moves to Los Angeles for next season, according to league sources.
The Chargers announced they would stay in San Diego for the 2015 season after being told by Roger Goodell that the NFL would not accept any relocation bids to Los Angeles in 2015, according to sources.
Goodell also told the Chargers, Raiders and Rams — each of whom can file a relocation application for the 2015 season starting Jan. 1 — that any team that is considering relocating to Los Angeles should look to 2016 instead, according to sources.
Once Goodell delivered that message to teams, the Chargers announced that they were going to be staying in San Diego.
Goodell’s message still doesn’t stop a team such as the Raiders or Rams from filing a relocation application. But those applications, which would require a super majority for approval, would not have the league’s support and likely would be rejected.
So the wait for a team in Los Angeles now is expected to go on until 2016, at least.
The Chargers announced Tuesday that they will not exercise their right to terminate their lease at Qualcomm Stadium, stating that they will continue their attempt to build “a Super Bowl-quality” stadium in San Diego.
According to team executive Mark Fabiani, the Chargers are keeping a watchful eye on what happens in Los Angeles, with 30 percent of the team’s local revenue — which includes advertising, sponsorships, club seats and suites — originating in the Los Angeles market.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12049182/jacksonville-jaguars-receivers-wear-breathe-t-shirtsJACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars receiving corps wore “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts during pregame warmups prior to Thursday night’s 21-13 win against the Tennessee Titans.
Cecil Shorts III, Marqise Lee, Ace Sanders and Allen Hurns wore the shirts while they were running around the field and catching passes more than two hours before kickoff at EverBank Field.
It’s the first time the group has worn those shirts during warmups this season.
Defensive end Ryan Davis was also spotted wearing the shirt during warmups.
College, high school, and professional athletes across the country have worn the shirts over the past several weeks as a tribute to New Yorker Eric Garner, who died in July after being put in a chokehold by police while being subdued.
President Obama praised LeBron James for wearing one during pregame warmups before the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against Brooklyn on Dec. 9.
