Of all the unbelievable ways the Los Angeles Chargers have lost games over the years, this might be the weirdest. And that’s saying a lot.
When the Denver Broncos took over with nine seconds left, it seemed they would take a knee and head to overtime. The Chargers tied the game with a late field goal. But the Broncos decided, why not throw one pass deep and see what happens?
The Chargers happened. Unbelievably, Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward Jr. had a pretty clear pass interference on Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton. The officials had to call it. Hayward went out of his way to make contact with Sutton and impede him from getting to the ball.
