You have to feel a little bad for Philip Rivers. The Chargers continue to shit themselves with these coaching hires.
Late in the game, down 19-17, Rivers completes a pass to the Miami 25, clock running, 1 timeout. He tries to rush the team to the line for a spike, but the sideline calls the last timeout! Rivers turns and yells something at them. Now, they really can't do anything except play a safe run and try the 41-yarder with a no-name rookie who just shanked one last week with game on the line. Of course, he misses. If SD took the spike, with 15 seconds left, they could have tried to throw down the field to get closer with the TO still available.
Of course, Miami tried to lose the game as well, playing for a 55-yard FG. But at least they had a kicker who has made all his 50-plus kicks.
