STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES – Game expected to be blacked out, ending streak of 48 straight sellouts, including playoffs, dating to 2004. … Chargers will honor former coach Don Coryell and former DL Gary “Big Hands” Johnson – both died during summer. … Rookie RB Ryan Mathews makes home debut after gaining 75 yards on 19 carries. He also fumbled, leading to Kansas City scoring go-ahead TD. … OLB Shawne Merriman, who missed opener with Achilles’ injury, might make season debut. … Game will be a homecoming for Jaguars WR Kassim Osgood and LBs Kirk Morrison and Russell Allen, who played at San Diego State. … Osgood played with Chargers from 2003-09. Although he was a three-time Pro Bowl special teams ace, he never got a chance to play WR under Norv Turner. Osgood caught game-winning 24-yard TD pass from David Garrard last week against Denver. It was Osgood’s first TD catch since 2004. … Jaguars outscored 61-3 in trips to Seattle and San Francisco, last year. Coach Jack Del Rio will have team fly out Saturday afternoon instead of Friday. … Garrard coming off best passer rating (138.9) in nine-year career, hitting 16 of 21 for 170 yards and three touchdowns in 24-17 win over Broncos.
