That was a very dumb challenge by the Chargers. I can't imagine his replay people advised him to challenge it. Probably something done out of frustration. No doubt an extra 10-15 seconds and a stoppage would have come in mighty handy. I also think the Chargers should have just spiked the ball after that first completion and stopped the clock with about 55 seconds left. They ran up unorganized, and than threw a 3 yard in bounds pass and the clock was at like 40 seconds. If you spike the ball and let your guys catch their breath maybe you can get an out pattern, or something else downfield. As is they basically wasted 25 seconds to do nothing.
