As many analyses are being written about the Chargers’ Thursday Night epic game on December 13th, 2018, against the Chiefs, I’m going to forego the statistics for the story.
The story’s plot points
1. The Underdog Character
The Hidden Hero limps into the opponent’s fortress, predicted to be exposed as a pretender. The antagonist has won NINE STRAIGHT games against the protagonist. In Act One (the first half), the fairy tale season is about to turn into a pumpkin. Act 2 begins with more of the same, and with less than five minutes left, the loser is far behind, just as in the second quarter, by two touchdowns.
