COSTA MESA Russell Okung Color Rush Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers aren’t making major waves in free agency, but they are addressing some key needs after getting to the AFC’s divisional round last season.The team announced on Friday it has re-signed safety Adrian Phillips to a one-year deal, shortly after linebacker Thomas Davis and quarterback Tyrod Taylor met reporters.Phillips will be entering his sixth season and is one of the league’s top players on special teams. He was an All-Pro selection last season after leading the NFL with 19 special teams tackles. He also started seven games as the Chargers’ third safety and made 77 tackles, including five tackles for loss. In the wild-card playoff win at Baltimore, he became the first player in nearly two years to have an interception and fumble recovery in a postseason game.“He’s a big part of this team. We love having him back,” coach Anthony Lynn said of Phillips.Phillips is the third defensive free agent the Chargers have re-signed, but was their most important to retain. Los Angeles has also kept linebacker Denzel Perryman and tackle Brandon Mebane.With the release of Jahleel Addae, Phillips will go into the season as the likely starter at free safety. Addae was moved from strong to free safety last year after the Chargers drafted Derwin James in the first round.Davis also will be a key part of the team’s plans on defense as he adds experience at linebacker. Davis comes to Los Angeles after spending his entire 14-year career with Carolina, and said he never imagined leaving the Panthers until he was able to enter free agency.“I feel like I still have a lot left in the tank. I am one of the more athletic linebackers in this league.,” said Davis, who will turn 36 next Friday. “I’m looking forward to it. Everything is fresh and new for me. That’s not always a bad thing. For me, it’s definitely a good thing.”Davis is being penciled in at one of the outside linebacker spots Junior Seau Color Rush Jersey , which also includes Kyzir White and Jatavis Brown, while Perryman would remain at middle linebacker. White, Brown and Perryman all ended up on injured reserve by the end of last season, but the Chargers still were ranked ninth in total defense,the first time they were in the top 10 since 2014.Taylor said some teams reached out about him competing for a starting spot, but that the opportunity to be reunited with Lynn was too good to pass up. Lynn was an assistant coach at Buffalo for two seasons and the offensive coordinator in 2016.“It was definitely tough because, as a competitor, you want to go out there and play. I think this is the right fit for me. I think I made the right decision,” he said.Taylor, who has started 46 games during his eight-year career, also said getting to an organization with some stability was another key factor. Taylor has dealt with plenty of upheaval the past three seasons in Buffalo and Cleveland.Philip Rivers has started 208 consecutive games, tied for the third-longest QB streak in NFL history Desmond King Color Rush Jersey , but general manager Tom Telesco said having a backup with starting experience was vital.Telesco said he has not been surprised at the level of activity around the league at the start of free agency, but did admit the Chargers are a little less aggressive on the market due to their tight cap situation. They are also wary of making any big splashes because Rivers and running back Melvin Gordon are entering the final year of their contracts.“We don’t have a lot of space to go after players, but our track record on free agency has been pretty good,” Telesco said.“All situations are unique. It’s fun signing players, I get that, but we’re not just judged on offseasons.” Philip Rivers聽and the聽Los Angeles Chargers聽have already played in most of the toughest road environments in the NFL this season.So a trip to聽New England聽for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game isn't anything out of the ordinary.Considering how well the Chargers have played away from home, it may end up being an advantage. Los Angeles is 8-1 on the road, but its only loss came in Week 3, when it took the bus to the LA Memorial Coliseum and lost to the Rams."We've found a way. We've won in a lot of different ways on the road this year 鈥?in some tough environments," Rivers said. "We've won with big defensive stops and a couple of two-minute end-of-game drives. Kind of all different ways."They join the 1984 and '89 San Francisco 49ers as the only West squads to win five regular-season and/or postseason games going East or farther.Chargers DE Brandon Mebane returns to team following death of infant daughterOnly 16 times since the merger has a team from the west won four or more games coming East or over the Atlantic. The 2013 49ers were the previous team to do it, going 4-0 which included a game in London.Coach Anthony Lynn credited the team's road routine, which includes traveling on Friday afternoon for long road trips Corey Liuget Color Rush Jersey , and having a young team has helped galvanize them."I hope that shows we are an extraordinary team," offensive tackle聽Russell Okung聽said. "I think anytime you beat a team on the road it proves a lot about one's execution. Going in tough, hostile environments only adds to our confidence." The Chargers' 23-17 win last week against Baltimore in the AFC wild-card round was their best road game this season as they sacked聽Lamar Jackson聽seven times and held him to 26 passing yards in the first three quarters. Rivers threw for 160 yards and completed passes to nine players.The road resume also includes rallying from 16 points down to beat Pittsburgh on Dec. 2, which ended the Steelers' 175-game unbeaten streak with at least a 16-point lead at home and marked the largest blown lead at home in franchise history.The road success also included a 29-28 victory at Kansas City on Dec. 13 where the Chargers trailed by two touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter and a 25-17 victory over Seattle on Nov. 4 where they needed a pass deflection in the end zone on the final play."Our guys are hardened to a certain degree about playing in tough spots. Being down, being able to come back and win those games, that can help, I guess, as much as anything to prepare you for it," offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said.Chargers LIVE: Philip Rivers previews Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Patriots. https://t.co/Ni5raH7iAi— Los Angeles Chargers ( /jA7pt8pMo7— Los Angeles Chargers (@Chargers) January 9, 2019"We definitely can't make mistakes. That team cannot beat themselves and I respect that about their organization. That's a skill and an advantage they've had for a long time," he said.Even though the Chargers have had three cold-weather games since Dec. 1, they have lucked out in that it hasn't been frigid or snowing. Sunday's forecast does have a chance of snow Dan Feeney Color Rush Jersey , which is the one thing they can't simulate."In California you can't prepare for that. You know, 29, 30 (degrees) whatever it's supposed to be, to me, that's good football weather. So it might be cold, breezy, but we'll be fine," Lynn said.
