It's the muffed punt rule. Basically the other team never had possession of the ball, but they did contact it. You can regain possession, but you can not advance the ball. Its like an incomplete pass verses a completed pass with possession and a fumble type of thing.
1 play in the third quarter for San Diego....Yikes! You can't win a football game when that happens. Especially on the road in a tough environment like that.
