One quick point about the genius of Norv.
When the Broncos were lining up for their field goal in overtime, there was about a minute left. Chargers had one time out remaining. And sure, it was basically a chip shot, so the odds are pretty good that Prater makes the kick, but I was shouting at the TV that the Chargers should have immediately taken a time out. Not to "ice the kicker" as Dan Fouts so moronically said, but to preserve the clock in case the kicker did miss. As it happened, the Chargers called time out with about 30 seconds left.
I know, it's kind of a moot point, but if Prater blows it, the Chargers now have a lot less time left to move back into field goal range. Not a major issue, but kind of indicative of a confused and ill-prepared coaching staff.
