The reality is, and I keep harping on this, it's that 3rd and 23. It changed the game, Chargers probably win easily if they just stop them there because they were already winning and the Raiders were reeling after the strong start. Instead they gave the Raiders life and the Raiders ran with it from there.

Just think about how they would have played it if they were down 2 in a normal game regulation time winding down. If you feel that they still would have gone for a TD, then there is no difference. But I don't believe that.
