The Los Angeles Chargers faced a choice late in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Brandon Staley is the Chargers head coach. So they rolled the dice. And they won.
After Austin Ekeler scored a one-yard touchdown on first-and-goal, the Chargers trailed the Cardinals, 24-23 with 15 seconds remaining. Staley didn't send out the kicking unit. He kept his offense on the field. Quarterback Justin Herbert took a shotgun snap, then found Gerald Everett uncovered at the goal line for the go-ahead two-point conversion.
