The Los Angeles Chargers-Houston Texans NFL wild-card game started off as a sleepy affair but ramped up to the point of absurdity in the closing seconds of the third quarter.
Houston's Eric Murray intercepted a Justin Herbert pass and returned it 38 yards for a score to allow the home team to open up a 20-6 lead. Four plays later, Herbert's throw to Will Dissly was tipped into the waiting arms of Derek Stingley, who also returned it into field-goal range for the Texans to enjoy a 17-point advantage. Three plays after that, facing a third-and-26, Herbert hit Ladd McConkey for what turned into an 86-yard touchdown.
