A tie is not common in the game of football, but in this scenario, it would have benefited both teams greatly. After going down early, the Chargers fought back and forced the game into overtime. From there, it was a back and forth battle, but the Raiders ultimately pulled out the victory.

Austin Ekeler had another solid performance, as he finished the evening with 99 total yards and two touchdowns. It was a wild scene on Sunday night, as the tie nearly came to fruition, which would have knocked the Pittsburgh Steelers out of the playoffs, allowing the Chargers and Raiders to advance.

It has been an insane season and the chase for the Super Bowl has just begun. Unfortunately for the Chargers, their year is finished and they enter the offseason. LA is close to becoming a legitimate contender and could find the right pieces in the summer.
