Stupid Decisions Doom the Chargers Again...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kicks things off with a full breakdown of the Kansas City Chiefs' overtime victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The Chargers had this game in hand and their head coach Brandon Staley blew it. Staley's decision to 'go for it' throughout the game rather than kick the field goal and take 3 points (on at least three separate occasions) doomed Los Angeles; There's a difference between being aggressive and being stupid - and Staley's choices were stupid. Had the Chargers kicked the field goal in any of those spots, they win the game. Heck, had they kicked the field goal in all of those spots they probably win in a blowout. With the AFC playoff race tightening up, the Chargers have to be kicking themselves this morning for letting this game slip away (pun intended). Finally, Jason closes the show with a very special NFL Week 15 edition of the Best Bet.
