Carson, Calif. — Marshawn Lynch ripped his helmet off before he reached the sideline and began to throw it before holding back.
The Raiders had a 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line, trailing by 17 at the end of the third quarter, and Derek Carr faked a handoff to Lynch before throwing the ball right into the hands of Chargers defensive end Melvin Ingram. A touchdown would’ve kept the Raiders alive, but Jon Gruden followed Pete Carroll’s lead and neglected to feed one of the game’s best short-yardage backs on the doorstep.
Twice this season Lynch has jumped over the pile from 1 yard out for a touchdown.
