Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn dismissed Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Leodis McKelvins description of the Falcons as a front-runner on Monday.We are for damn sure not going to allow anyone else to determine our team identity, Quinn told reporters. Weve got a tough outfit. We know what we stand for as a club, and well leave it at that.After the Eagles?24-15 victory?over the Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field, McKelvin said Philadelphias defense saw a weakness to exploit against Atlanta, which boasted the NFLs top offense.I was telling the defense, this is the type of team, they are a front-runner. They are a front-running team, McKelvin said. If you go out there and make some stops, they eventually are going to be dying down.Falcons free safety Ricardo Allen echoed Quinns thoughts that the Falcons dont dwell on opinions outside their building in comments to ESPNs Vaughn McClure.Everybodys got their opinion, man. Theres always going to be someone who comes out and says something to try and challenge another team, Allen told ESPN. We dont worry about people on the outside. We dont worry about nobody else. We just worry about ourselves. We worry about who we are as a team because we know who we are. And we know when were playing really good ball, were one of the best around.We stay in our locker room. We dont worry about when anybody else talks about us. We dont even bring that stuff up. I didnt even hear about [McKelvins comments], so I dont even really care about that stuff. You can talk all you want to. Have fun with that. I aint with the talking. I play ball. I just want to play ball, man.The NFC South-leading Falcons (6-4) have a bye this week.

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Chargers players and coaches say they arent distracted by increasing chatter that the team will relocate to Los Angeles.Ron Rivera wonders otherwise.Rivera, the coach of the Carolina Panthers, knows all about the Chargers long, bruising stadium saga because he was on San Diegos staff from 2007-10.During a conference call with San Diego reporters Wednesday, Rivera was asked about some of the problems encountered this year by the Chargers (5-7), who visit the defending NFC champion Panthers (4-8) on Sunday.Rivera mentioned injuries, and then segued into the possible relocation.Some other things that have hurt them, too, has been ... I dont want to call it a distraction, but wanting to get a new stadium, Rivera said. I know Mr. Spanos would love to be able to keep that team there -- and again, that comes up every year and quite honestly it weighs a little bit on the players -- at least I believe it does, from my opinion.But at the end of the day, whatevers going to happen is going to happen for the organization. I really do believe its a tremendous organization. I think the Spanos family has done a great job there.On Nov. 8, San Diego voters overwhelmingly defeated the Chargers ballot measure asking for $1.15 billion in hotel occupancy taxes to help pay for a $1.8 billion downtown stadium and convention center annex to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.The next day, team chairman Dean Spanos said he wouldnt make any announcements about the teams future until after the season.Since then, there have been numerous reports, based on anonymous sources, that the Chargers feel they have no option but to move to Los Angeles, where they would join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019.The Chargers must decide by Jan. 15 if theyll exercise their option to move to L.A. or give it one more try in San Diego.The Chargers and their fans went through this last year, when Spanos partnered with the rival Oakland Raiders on a plan to build a stadium in the LA suburb of Carson. When the Chargers hosted the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 20, many fans felt it was the teams final game in San Diego, its home since 1961.But a month later, NFL owners overwhelmingly rejected the Chargers-Raiders plan in favor of the RRams Inglewood plan.dddddddddddd However, owners gave Spanos the option to relocate. If Spanos doesnt take that option, it will then go to the Raiders, unless they commit to Las Vegas.Quarterback Philip Rivers, a father of eight, would certainly be affected by the Chargers moving.Still, he says the increasing talk about moving isnt a distraction.No. I dont think anybodys thinking about that in the fourth quarter. You dont just start thinking about it, Rivers said. Shoot, I dont give much thought to things I dont know enough about.Asked about hearing relocation talk for a second straight season, Rivers said: Again, I dont like to downplay the situation, but I think its been exhausted to what I can add to it or say about it. If it were to happen or doesnt happen, then thered be something. Every day, I dont look to see if theres a new report. I doubt that theres one guy in there talking about it right now, would be my guess.Some reports have said the Chargers could play the next two years at the StubHub! Center in Carson. That would seem a bit preposterous, since it seats only 27,000.Rivers has been to the StubHub! Center, when his younger brother, Stephen, practiced there for an all-star game.Its a neat little stadium, Philip Rivers said.And the Chargers playing there?Itll be a story if it ever gets to that, Rivers said.USA Today reported Tuesday that the Chargers have been talking with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home of the Southern California Trojans and, temporarily, the Rams. However, the Coliseum Commissions lease with USC, which runs the stadium, allows only one NFL team to play there temporarily. The commissions next regularly scheduled meeting is Jan. 26, 11 days after the Chargers must decide whether theyre moving.The Chargers attempt to move last year has turned off many fans. That, coupled with another down year, has dropped home attendance to an average of average of 55,488, worst in the NFL, at 70,000-seat Qualcomm Stadium.The Chargers last home game this season is Jan. 1 against Kansas City. They have been all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons. ' ' '
