SAN DIEGO – The Browns and Chargers traded fast and furious haymaker punches on Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium but in the end it was San Diego who knocked out Cleveland 30-27 on a heartbreaking game-winning field goal.
Trailing 27-19 late in the fourth quarter, quarterback Josh McCown engineered a brilliant a 10-play, 67-yard drive highlighted by a juggling Gary Barnidge 19-yard catch – a play that was overturned when coach Mike Pettine successfully threw the red challenge flag. Two plays later Barnidge caught the 1-yard touchdown and Taylor Gabriel scored on the 2-point conversion, knotting the score at 27 apiece.
