    No kidding.

    Why ice the kicker on a 12 degree day?

    On a long field goal, don't ice them. On a short one, go for it.

    They had to win two of their last three. Now, obviously, the last two. 10-6 might not be enough. Besides, that's assuming they can score enough points to actually win. Three home losses with the best home-field advantage in the league is a no-go, as well. On to next season.

    Like a home game for the Raiders in San Diego. Crowd was amazing.

    This is a little weird. The Raiders were up 19-16, and after a kneeldown on third down there were 15-20 seconds left. The Chargers had a timeout left but didn't use it.

    If the Chargers use the TO, the Raiders either kick a field goal or throw the ball away. But in either case the Chargers still touch the ball again in a one-score game.

    Don't see a lot of teams concede in that situation.

    Chargers have waved the white flag in San Diego for decades. Why start battling now?

    I mentioned it after the play happened. I get the thinking, but it just seemed like too low of a percentage chance to be worth the risk. I also didn't care for the play call, a quick pass without much in the way of alternatives if the first look isn't open.

    Fewest points at home for the Broncos since the worst NFL game of all time, the 2011 regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Three points for the home team that has the best home-field advantage in the league is an abomination.

    So those games from the past with Tatum Bell and Jake Plummer had no bearing on today's outcome?

    I told you all Osweiler sucked.
    Benched for a fourth-round pick.
