With 2:37 left in a wild game Sunday, the Chargers led Tennessee by eight but faced a third-and-seven from their own territory. The Titans had a timeout left and plenty of time to chase a game-winning touchdown, but first they needed a stop.
Philip Rivers handed off to Melvin Gordon, a conservative play call that easily could have resulted in a San Diego punt. Gordon had other ideas. He blew through a Kevin Byard tackle attempt at the line, darted around Da’Norris Searcy just before the first-down line and then outraced Jason McCourty another 30 yards before he finally was shoved out of bounds.
