The Los Angeles Chargers were known to be conservative under the previous regime, but took a step forward last year in trying to be more aggressive. It paid off on a number of occasions, and most would think of the drives ending with two-point conversion plays. However, I’m thinking of a different series.
The drive specifically is:
- (0:10) 1st and 10 at LAC 32: Rivers pass to Benjamin for 11 yards
- (0:04) 1st and 10 at LAC 43: Rivers pass to Allen for 11 yards
- (0:01) 1st and 10 at CIN 46: CIN offsides, five-yard penalty
- (0:00) 1st and 5 at CIN 41: Michael Badgley kicks a 59-yard field goal
The score then becomes 17-12 in favor of the Chargers.
