Of course a first down would have ended the game. Rivers and Gordon weren't on the same page, Rivers basically turned around to hand the ball off and Gordon wasn't there so Rivers had to take the sack. Next play they killed the clock on an incomplete pass. Once they got it to 2nd and 4, it looked like they could have ended the game. Chances are you can pick up 4 yards with two plays.
