Against most odds, except from the team itself who said it never stopped believing, the Los Angeles Chargers launched a late-game comeback bid that came up just short Sunday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.
A tie would've put both teams in the playoffs after the Indianapolis Colts lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 26-11 earlier Sunday. Instead, Daniel Carlson's 47-yard field goal as time expired in overtime lifted the Raiders past the Chargers 35-32 and into the postseason, while eliminating their AFC West rivals from playoff contention.
The Chargers missed the postseason for the seventh time in eight seasons.
