Holding onto a 17-16 lead in the late stages of Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears, the Chargers just hoped they could hold on. After an 11-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers to Austin Ekeler in the fourth quarter, the Chargers took the 1-point lead but holding it would be another story.
The Bears started that final possession at their own 35-yard line with just 1:33 to play. The Chargers were forced to punt after Hunter Henry caught a pass on 3rd-and-12 but only gained 11 yards. Tense moments set in for Chargers fans.
