Chargers vs Chiefs 12/16... Chargers shot themselves in the foot for passing up FGs

  1. Game was entertaining with all the "go for it, 4th downs".. but by passing-up 3 FG attempts, Chargers virtually eliminated themselves from the playoffs. (They outplayed KC and should have won.)

    Had the Chargers won (making ONE FG would have done it), they would have been a near "shoe-in" to make the playoffs as AFC West champs... with their tie breaker advantage over the Chiefs. Now, it's either already impossible for the Chargers... depending upon the tie-breakers.... or it would take 2 Charger wins in the last 2 games and 2 Chief losses in the last 2 games... and even that would likely leave the Chargers out of the playoffs as per tie breakers.

    Maybe the Chargers will win their last 2 games and get in as a Wild Card... that would be a big "luck out".
