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. Cheap Wholesale Air Max .

The Nationals needed a roster spot to promote righty Reynaldo Lopez to start against Atlanta.There wasnt a real fit anymore, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. Didnt know where to use him.Papelbon, ninth on the career saves list with 368, only threw 2 2/3 innings after his final blown save on July 26. The Nationals got Melancon a few days later from Pittsburgh.The 35-year-old Papelbon, suspended by the Nationals last September after grabbing NL MVP Bryce Harper by the throat during a dugout skirmish, is now a free agent and can sign with any team.The Nationals are responsible for the remainder of his $11 million salary this year.Papelbon has converted 19 of 22 save chances this season, and is 2-4 with a 4.37 ERA.The six-time All-Star had trouble in July, giving up eight runs and seven hits in three outings, before the Nationals got Melancon from the Pirates. Melancon immediately took over the closers role.Washington acquired the fiery Papelbon in July 2015 to replace Drew Storen as its closer. The Nationals, favored by many to make the World Series, faltered down the stretch and misssed the playoffs, and Papelbons altercation with Harper became a symbol for the teams frustration.ddddddddddddOnce the Nats got Melancon, Papelbon had no set spot in their bullpen.Baker called Papelbon a professional in response to the demotion. Teammates pushed back against any notion of the recent situation or last seasons incident with Harper causing locker room issues.Hes not a distraction whatsoever, ace Max Scherzer said. He comes in to play every single day, he works his absolute tail off and he competes on the mound for us.All that stuff, last year ... just a media circus. We were 100 percent behind him. We understood all his intentions. He was great for our team. He was great for everybody in this clubhouse. To sit here and say hes a bad teammate or anything like that, its garbage to me, he said.Papelbon made his major league debut with Boston in 2005. In 2007, he pitched 10 2/3 scoreless innings in the postseason and helped the Red Sox win the World Series.He was a great teammate. He was popular with his teammates, Baker said. We wish Pap the best and he wished us the best. He wanted us to win (the World Series). Those were his parting words.
