Chargers squandered a lead in the final 15 minutes and

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Aaron Williams acknowledged that a neck injury that kept him out 13 games last season and a recent concussion might have a long-term effect on his health, but the sixth-year Buffalo Bills safety said Tuesday that he cant think about the potential impact of the injuries.Honestly, it probably does have an effect in the future. But am I thinking about that? No, Williams said. I cant think about it, because if I think about it, its going to happen. I just got to go out and just play and be me.Yall got to understand, I love this game to the bottom of my heart and would do anything to keep playing this game. But I know I have to change a lot of things to play this game.Williams missed all four of the Bills preseason games and significant practice time following a collision with Bills receiver Dezmin Lewis in a drill during an Aug. 11 practice. The Bills fully cleared him to practice this week after he spent the past several weeks in the NFLs concussion protocol.I just remember being hit and then getting up and being in the training room, Williams said of the freak accident with Lewis. I couldnt even tell you what I was thinking, probably, because I wasnt thinking. It was just one of those things that just happened. I couldnt really tell you what I was thinking or what was going on in my mind because the whole time, my head was ringing. I was just trying to make sure that my neck was actually good. I was more concerned about my neck than my head.Bills players and the teams medical staff were initially concerned about Williams neck because of an injury the safety suffered during a Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots last season. Williams was taken from the field in an ambulance during that game after experiencing numbness in parts of his body when he landed hard attempting to make a diving tackle near the end zone.Williams returned to play in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans but experienced further numbness early in the game, resulting in the Bills placing him on injured reserve to end his season. He later underwent surgery to shave vertebrae in his neck.The Bills regular-season opening game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens will mark Williams return to the field for the first time since his neck surgery, as well as his first live game action since his concussion.The Dez [Lewis collision] just confirmed that my neck is good, he said Tuesday. Theres no doubts in my mind if I can go 100 percent. I wont play conservative, I guess you could put it. I only know one speed to play, and thats full speed. Of course, I will be smart in how I play, but overall I feel really good.New Bills assistant defensive backs coach Ed Reed has instructed Williams to be more cautious as a tackler.Did I take those words to heart? I mean, its coming from a Hall of Famer, so I hope and pray to God that Im listening, Williams said Tuesday. But he watched me over the offseason, and this is before we even talked, we came together when I came back and he said, Weve got you in the game, you like to hit too many times for unnecessary reasons.But I never knew that, because I only knew one way to play, and that was to stop the person that has the ball no matter what the repercussions are. But now I got with Ed and we studied how I played and I studied how he played. And it helps out to know how to play smart and not to just play all out, full speed ahead at all times. Hulk Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- While sifting through the aftermath of another loss, Chargers coach Mike McCoy made something clear: he wants to return next season.Yes I do, McCoy said Monday, without a doubt.When asked if he had been approached about an extension, McCoy declined to elaborate.Im worried about Carolina right now, said McCoy, whose Chargers face the Panthers on Sunday. That is all Im concerned about. We have to find a way to go win this one. We got to find a way to go out there and dont turn the ball over, be more consistent in all three phases, finish the game and win. That is all we are concerned about right now is to get a win on the road. We will deal with everything else down the road.The last-place Chargers (5-7) were less than 24 hours away from their latest fourth-quarter meltdown, this one coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 28-21. For the fifth time this season, the Chargers squandered a lead in the final 15 minutes and on this occasion it all but eliminated them from the playoffs.Indications are the Chargers, who are considering moving to Los Angeles, will miss the postseason for the sixth time in seven seasons.The Chargers have lost 25 of their past 38 games (.342 winning percentage) and are 9-19 since last year, a span in which for the majority of the time thheyve been in the AFC West cellar.ddddddddddddMcCoy, who is under contract for next season, has had a rocky ride in his first stint as a head coach at any level. The Broncos former offensive coordinator directed the Chargers to a 9-7 mark and a road playoff win in 2013, his first year.Since then, the Chargers have struggled.Not only have they lost 11 of their last 12 AFC West games but the division-leading Oakland Raiders have more wins this year (10) than the Chargers (nine) have since 2015.What makes this season so painful for the Chargers is their play in the most critical moments.The Chargers lost their season-opener when Kansas City rallied for a win, outscoring the Chargers 30-3 in the fourth quarter and overtime. On Sunday, it was more of the same as the Buccaneers outscored the Chargers 21-7 in the second half.Weve gone into the fourth quarter with the lead plenty of times, McCoy said. We have been in position to win all of them and we havent got it done. Like we have been saying, everyone is different. Why is it happening? Its different on a weekly basis.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
