I think the Raiders were still playing to not go to Kansas City

Oof. Imagine if they hadn't taken the timeout, raiders probably just knee it out
Not necessarily. 3rd down. Maybe Staley wanted his guys be ready in case they opted to throw the ball.

it was 3rd and 4 from the LAC 39. If jacobs gets nothing I don’t see LV opting to try a 56 yard FG.

what Staley was likely doing was make it so that there was some time left so that LV wouldn’t try a really long FG cause if they missed chargers get the ball at their own 46 with 20 some seconds to go.

I'm shocked that the Raiders didn't just run the clock out after the Jacobs run. Guaranteed playoff spot vs. small chance of a blocked FG for TD.
Also shocked that the Chargers called the timeout on 3rd down. Weird but awesome game

I'm glad to see Big Ben get another game and Carr finally make it, but that's a heartbreaking end for the Chargers.

Everyone is talking about the timeout but once the chargers were in field goal territory they threw the ball twice to stop the clock if they kill the clock and tie it they go to the playoffs that's on them
