Hernández: Chargers’ ongoing problems threaten to make them a permanent joke in L.A. [Los Angeles Times]
From their opponents’ eight-yard line, the Chargers ran the ball.
With 22 seconds remaining in the half.
Without any timeouts.
Spiking the ball wasn’t an option, either, as the play call in question came on third down.
Anthony Lynn was unable to get their field-goal team lined up before the clock expired. The period ended with an illegal-shift penalty and the Chargers down by a touchdown.
You don’t see that every day.
“Actually, they also did that two weeks ago,” remarked a chuckling Chargers beat writer two seats away in the socially-distanced press box at SoFi Stadium.
