Down 19-27 in the fourth quarter, the San Diego Chargers had four shots from 2 yards out to have a chance to pull within 2 of the Denver Broncos and couldn’t convert.
What exactly happened? Well, let’s take a look…
Before we get into what happened on the goal-line, let’s quickly review what went into getting down there. San Diego marched 73 yards on this drive. After an incompletion and the inevitable false start by Joe Barksdale to start the drive, this is how the San Diego drive went, in sequence:
- +16 yard pass to Dontrelle Inman on a deep comeback out of a 3x1 set
- +30 yard pass to Melvin Gordon on a PA pass out of 12 personnel
- +17 yard counter run for Melvin Gordon out of a 22 personnel, Full House look
- +5 yard run for Kenneth Farrow out of the I-Formation (22 personnel)
- +3 yard run for Melvin Gordon out of the I-Formation (22 personnel)
- +2 yard slant pass to Hunter Henry out of Empty Quads
Chargers are now on the 2-yard line.
