EAST RUTHERFORD http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/marquise-blair-jersey , N.J. (AP) some competition for the placekicking job. The Giants signed 13-year veteran Mike Nugent on Tuesday in a move to up the pressure on the 22-year-old Rosas, who has never kicked in a regular-season NFL game. ”I’ve always wanted to play 20 years,” said Nugent, who spent the past seven seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. ”I’m going to see what I can do, make sure I stay in shape and try to keep up with the younger guys and to get to a point where the ball is going where I’m aiming it, and keep at it.” Nugent, who has been working out in Arizona, said the Giants called him recently. Rosas had been the only placekicker on the roster for the offseason. He got all the work in organized team activities and the minicamp. After practice, coach Ben McAdoo said the team just wanted him to face some competition. Nugent, who was released by the Bengals in December after missing six field goals and six extra points http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/cody-barton-jersey , thinks he can still do the job. ”I’m really excited to get out there and just do my thing and apply what I’ve learned over the years,” he said. ”At the end of the day, it’s kind of like a golf tournament: it’s not so much about how everyone else does, it’s about how you do.” This will be a return to the area for Nugent, who was draft by the Jets. He made 23 of 29 on both his field goal and extra point attempts last season. Rosas’ only attempt NFL field goal came in a preseason game with Tennessee last summer. It was good. Rosas was not surprised the Giants added another kicker, adding all he intends to do is to keep working on his own game. ”Every day I came out here trying to compete with the open spots around the league,” Rosas said. ”Having Mike out here, there is an extra guy I can talk to, that I can look at and emulate what he is doing, or things I can pick up.” Josh Brown and Robbie Gould kicked for the Giants last season http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/phil-haynes-jersey , with Gould taking over after Brown was released because of domestic violence problems. Gould signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a free agent in the offseason. Nugent also has played for the Jets, Tampa Bay and Arizona. He has made 236 of 292 field goal attempts and 344 of 355 extra points, scoring more than 100 points in a season six times. NOTES: This was the Giants’ first day in pads and linebacker B.J. Goodson upset receiver Sterling Shepard with a little extra bump early in practice. … Fourth-year defensive tackle Jay Bromley played well in the half-line drills. He is competing with rookie Dalvin Tomlinson and Robert Thomas for the job that opened when Johnathan Hankins signed with the Colts. …Defensive captain Jonathan Casillas knocked free agent fullback Jacob Huesman off his feet for the best hit of the practice. — Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon isn’t concerned about an injury that sidelined him for much of the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.“Nah, it’s just a little upper body, but I’ll be straight,” Gordon said.Whatever pain there might have been was offset by Gordon matching a career high by scoring three touchdowns, and the Chargers holding off a late Bills comeback attempt to secure a 31-20 win.“It felt good because that just showed us what type of offense we can be,” said Gordon, who left with just over 11 minutes remaining. “It’s good to have confirmation, so we’ve just got to keep that going.”A week after putting up 541 yards but lacking finish in a season-opening 38-28 loss to Kansas City http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/mike-edwards-jersey , the Chargers were less productive but more efficient. Gordon scored on three consecutive drives in helping the Chargers build a 28-3 lead with 1:55 left in the second quarter.The Bills, meanwhile, continued to show signs of unraveling even though rookie quarterback Josh Allen provided the offense some semblance of a spark in his first career start, and a week after a season-opening 47-3 meltdown at Baltimore.Veteran cornerback Vontae Davis created a significant stir by leaving the team at halftime, coach Sean McDermott said. Running back LeSean McCoy did not return and was still experiencing pain in the locker room because of a rib injury. And McDermott revealed he took over the defensive play-calling from coordinator Leslie Frazier to start the second half.On Davis, McDermott said: “Pulled himself out of the game. He communicated to us that he was done.”That move didn’t sit well with Buffalo’s two senior defensive leaders.“I think the only thing to say is he’s where he needs to be right now,” tackle Kyle Williams said.Asked where that might be, Williams responded: “That’s not here point blank and simple.”Defensive end Lorenzo Alexander was equally blunt when asked about Davis.“I don’t have nothing to say about Vontae so I’ll give him a little bit more respect than he showed us today as far as quitting on us in the middle of the game,” Alexander said. “Never seen it, ever. Pop Warner. High school. College. Pros.”Davis was credited with one tackle. He’s a 10-year veteran who signed a one-year contract in free agency in March.The Bills provided Davis a chance to re-start his career after a dispute with former Colts coach Chuck Pagano led to Indianapolis cutting him in November.Davis made his Bills’ debut against the Chargers after being inactive against Baltimore last week.A message left with Davis’ agent http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/matt-gay-jersey , Todd France, was not returned.The Bills defense wilted in the first half in allowing the Chargers 17 first downs and 284 yards.Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers finished 23 of 27 for 256 yards and three touchdowns, including a 10-yarder to Mike Williams , 5½ minutes in.The Chargers defense did their part in limiting the Bills to 110 yards and two field goals in the first half.Melvin Ingram III had 1½ of the Chargers’ five sacks on a defense that was playing without Joey Bosa (foot) and Corey Liuget (suspension).Allen produced two touchdown drives in the second half, including a seven-play, 75-yard third-quarter opening drive capped by Chris Ivory‘s 1-yard plunge.Allen finished 18 of 33 for 245 yards with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin with 38 seconds remaining, and two interceptions.It was a modestly better showing at quarterback a week after Nathan Peterman was yanked after completing 5 of 18 attempts for 24 yards, with two interceptions, and overseeing an offense that managed just one first down over 10 series.MCCOY INJUREDMcCoy was shaken up late in the third quarter when he was tackled from behind and had Buffalo center Ryan Groy fall down on him. Groy landed heavily on the left side of McCoy’s chest as he was on the ground.McCoy returned and had a 3-yard run on the final snap of the third quarter, before missing the remainder of the game.STILL HAVEN’T TRAILEDThe Chargers won their fourth straight meeting against the Bills http://www.tennesseetitansteamonline.com/a.j.-brown-jersey , and haven’t trailed Buffalo since a 23-14 loss on Oct. 19, 2008.FINALLYIt took nearly 95 minutes of game time for the Bills to finally find the end zone. The drought finally ended on Ivory’s 1-yard plunge with 11:06 left in the third quarter. Buffalo was the only team not to score a touchdown in Week 1.INJURIES:Chargers: Receiver Travis Benjamin did not play because of a foot injury.Bills: RB Taiwan Jones was being evaluated for a head injury after he was tackled in Buffalo’s end zone after his helmet came off while recovering a fumbled punt midway through the fourth quarter. CB Philip Gaines hurt his right elbow while tackling Gordon.ANTHEM UPDATEChargers offensive tackle Russell Okung stood 3 yards in from the sideline with his right arm raised. No other players appeared to protest during the anthem.UP NEXTChargers: At Los Angeles Rams, Sunday, Sept. 23.Bills: At Minnesota, Sunday, Sept. 23.___
