The Chargers bounced back following their two-game losing streak to beat the Cardinals 25-24 thanks to a touchdown in the waning seconds of Sunday’s afternoon matchup in Arizona.
With 12 seconds remaining, offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi pulled out the team’s “money” play — a fake run sprint out to the right where Justin Herbert hit Austin Ekeler in stride before reaching the ball inside the pylon.
Instead of playing for the tie, Staley chose to go for a two-point try. Herbert found Gerald Everett on an angle route and the rest was history.
The defense also deserves plenty of praise, even if Kyler Murray and the Cardinals ran roughshod over them at times.
