Hooch Wrote:Denver/San Diego
With less than a minute left in the game, down by 7, Denver has the ball around the San Diego 10. Cutler drops back, rolls out,and with no defender even near him, fumbles the ball as he cocks back to throw. A Charger defender recovers the ball and runs out of bounds... but it didn't matter, the play was blown dead when the ball hit the ground, the officials thought it was an incomplete pass and blew the whistle, ending the play. They realized it was a fumble, but since the whistle was blown, the play was over before the Chargers recovered it and Denver got the ball back at the spot of the fumble. When Hoculi made the PA announcement, he said that the whistle was mistakenly blown... or something along those lines.
The Broncos then scored and converted 2-points to win.
Second painful loss for the Chargers in a row
