Los Angeles, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Dec, 2018 ) :The Los Angeles Chargers rallied with two late touchdowns and a courageous two-point conversion with just four seconds left Thursday in a thrilling 29-28 NFL triumph over the Chiefs in Kansas City.
Trailing 28-14 early in the fourth quarter, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers engineered two touchdown drives in the last four minutes of regulation.
Justin Jackson's three-yard scoring run with 3:49 to play trimmed the deficit. After the Chiefs were unable to answer, Rivers responded with another scoring drive capped by a short TD pass to Williams.
Rather than going for an extra point to force overtime, the Chargers went for the riskier two-point conversion, and Rivers found Williams in the end zone to seal the stunning comeback.
The Chargers clinched a playoff berth, and pulled level with the Chiefs atop the AFC West division at 11-3.
