You act as if SD would have taken the same approach on a final drive that they did when they were just trying to run time off the clock. Yes, our defense did a good job to get the ball back but SD was moving the ball up and down the field all day and the Rams weren't really getting to Rivers. Had they got the ball back with over a minute to go, I think they would have marched down the field yet again.
And the last time I heard, the ref's called 9 penalties on the Rams and 8 on the Chargers. They weren't picking and choosing to call back scoring plays and the only one I thought was bogus was the hold on the punt return but that didn't nullify a score. Just a long return. The Britt TD was a penalty. Sucks that it got called back but it wasn't a bogus call.
