The Cleveland Browns desperately wanted another chance to score before time ran out.
While up late, Chargers’ Austin Ekeler purposely did not score on an easy TD to force the Browns to use their last timeout late in the 4th quarter. The next play, he tried not to score, but the Browns picked him up and forced him to.

By bringing him into the end zone, the Browns defense ensured that their offense would get a shot to respond with a possible game-winning touchdowns with less than 2 minutes remaining. The Chargers defense was up for the challenge though, stopping Baker Mayfield and company to secure the 47-42 victory.
