That was an incredible way to lose a game, even for the Chargers. What’s forgotten is Mike Williams’ unbelievable catch on fourth-and-11 that set up the game-tying field goal. Williams doesn’t have the consistent impact throughout games you’d like to see, but he makes highlight catches that remind you how good he is. He’s averaging a league-leading 20.5 yards per catch this season but has no touchdowns, which is a remarkable combination.

The Chargers usually beat themselves, but the officials were to blame this week, as the refs called them for two phantom calls in the final minutes, including an inexplicable pass interference on Casey Hayward, where Hayward was flagged despite looking back for the ball on a pass that had absolutely no chance. The head official might as well have announced, "Penalty on the Chargers, because we need the Broncos to cover the spread. The game is over."

It feels like we never go more than a few weeks without watching L.A.'s other team suffer a loss in excruciating fashion. "It seems like we're literally trying to figure out every way you can possibly lose a game," running back Austin Ekeler said after Sunday's last-second loss to the Broncos. "It's just frustrating, for sure." The Chargers are now 4-8, dead and buried in the AFC. All eight of those losses have come by seven points or fewer. It's been a what-if season for the NFL's preeminent what-if franchise. Against the Broncos, the Chargers found a way to lose a game in regulation in which they kicked a game-tying field goal with 14 seconds to play. Cornerback Casey Hayward Jr. was called for defensive pass interference on a deep ball that set up Brandon McManus' 53-yard game-winner at the gun. Chargers gonna Charger.
