Mike Badgley Nails Game-Winning FG as Philip Rivers, Chargers Stun Steelers

The 9-3 Los Angeles Chargers solidified their spot in the middle of the AFC playoff race with a dramatic 33-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Heinz Field.

Mike Badgley drilled the game-winning field goal to complete the Chargers' comeback on the final play after they found themselves behind by as many as 16 points. It was no routine winning field goal, though, as Pittsburgh went offside on the first two attempts—a miss and a block.

Los Angeles moved to within one game of the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs, while Pittsburgh dropped to 7-4-1 and just ahead of the 7-5 Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.
