Jack Conklin came in on day one and was ready to play right tackle in the NFL. Joey Bosa came in a whole lot later than day one but was more than ready to sack NFL quarterbacks.The former Big Ten Conference rivals square off Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego when Conklins Tennessee Titans meet Bosas San Diego Chargers, and the winner of this individual matchup between ballyhooed rookies could decide the games winner.By most metrics, Conklin has been one of the top right tackles in football this year, enabling Tennessee (4-4) to establish its first real offensive identity in years.With Conklin and Taylor Lewan bookending the line at tackle, DeMarco Murray is on pace to rush for more than 1,500 yards and the Titans are only a game behind the idle Houston Texans for first place in the AFC South.Bosa was the last first-round pick to sign, his agent feeling that San Diego was squeezing him on contract language. It took Bosa until Week 5 to get into the lineup, but he already has four sacks in four games and has forced opponents to double-team him.Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey is confident in Conklins ability to neutralize Bosa, pointing to Conklins work against him in last years Michigan State-Ohio State game.Thats one thing we saw about Jack -- there werent a lot of guys that gave him problems or a lot of mismatches at all, Mularkey said. We like what Jacks done for us against some very good pass rushers that weve faced this year.Conklin and his teammates up front definitely had their way with hapless Jacksonville in last weeks Thursday night game, rolling up a 27-0 halftime lead and cruising to a 36-22 win.It guaranteed the Titans of upping their win total for the second straight year and gave them multiple home wins for the first time since 2013.Thats also the last time Tennessee played any kind of meaningful football in the seasons second half. Mularkey is telling his team to treat the final eight games like theyre starting a game.Were starting from scratch, he said. We cant watch what anybody else is doing. All we have control over is this game, and lock in. Whatever we have to do, see if we can repeat, continue to make the progress that were making.While the Titans are shooting for their first playoff berth since 2008, the Chargers (3-5) are at best longshots for a wild card. They trail Denver and Oakland by three games in the AFC West, thanks largely to their inability to close out games.San Diego coughed up fourth quarter leads in their first three losses, including a 14-point advantage at Kansas City in Week 1 and a 13-point margin three weeks later to New Orleans.The Chargers also botched the hold on a potential tying field goal late in the fourth quarter in Week 5 at Oakland, and failed on four plays from the Denver 2-yard-line last week in a 27-19 defeat.Despite the steep odds, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers says the team can still make a run at the playoffs.Im fired up, Rivers said. We have two at home to get 5-5, get the bye and we go have a six-game season. This feels a little bit like our 2007 season to me. We hem-hawed around and found a way to get to 5-5 and never looked back.Of course, that 2007 team was loaded with talent, deep enough that it finished 11-5 and reached the AFC championship game despite a spate of injuries to key players.This team lost key starters to season-ending injuries after Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4, leaving them with little margin for error.But any team with Rivers, who is on pace to throw 30 touchdown passes, has a chance in any game.Rivers has mismatch possibilities in the passing game if he can find running back Melvin Gordon or tight ends Hunter Henry and Antonio Gates against Tennessee linebackers and safeties who have not covered receivers well this year.Guard Matt Slauson looks at last years Kansas City Chiefs, who started 1-5 and won 10 straight games to reach the playoffs, as an example San Diego can follow.Its the same thing, he said. We can still accomplish everything we need to accomplish. Weve just got to play better as a group. Custom Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys .

Clearance Custom Baseball Jerseys . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. Wayne Bennett has accused his England side of beating themselves against Australia and pinpointed skipper Sam Burgess as a chief culprit.The ruthless Kangaroos punished the error-prone hosts with 38-16 win at the London Stadium to end their Four Nations campaign in front of a crowd of over 35,000, leaving Bennett in a frustrated mood after the game.NRL stars Gaeth Widdop and Josh Hodgson both failed to find touch with penalties in the first half and Burgess was penalised twice just before halftime by English referee Robert Hicks, much to the dismay of his coach.The problem is our inability to continually maintain pressure... not finding the sideline on two occasions, which is pretty important in any context let alone against the best team in the world, Bennett said.Then the stupid penalties we continually give away.Sam gives away far too many penalties - Ill be quite candid with you.He does that at South Sydney as well so he needs to change his behaviour.Burgess said he agreed with Bennetts coomments about his indiscipline but slammed Hicks performance and accused him of being swayed by verbal pressure from Australia skipper Cameron Smith.dddddddddddd.Theyre a class outfit, but I think were a better side than that scoreline, Burgess said.I agree with Wayne, I did give two penalties away at the end of the first half and one led to two points. Its something I have to improve on.Some of the calls were not good enough at all, youve got to put the whistle away at some point, and Im not saying that is why we lost.But this is an international and there were 13 or 14 penalties in the first half.I dont know what agenda hes got there but at this level I dont think they were penalties.He was being made aware of the penalty count by an Australian player and made sure it was even by halftime.Asked if it was Cameron Smith, Burgess responded: Yeah, hes a smart player.
