Chargers' Brandon Staley: Grew 'closer' with Keenan Allen after critical tweet

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley on Monday expressed no second thoughts regarding his late-game, fourth-down decision a day earlier that nearly proved costly in a 30-28 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Staley also said that he has since met with team captain and wide receiver Keenan Allen, who was at home nursing a hamstring injury, when he wrote in a since-deleted tweet, "WTF are we doing" moments after Staley's decision.

Clinging to a two-point lead at FirstEnergy Stadium with 1:14 to play, Staley elected to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Bolts' 46-yard line.
