Buster: PK Daniel Carlson

Carlson has now missed a field goal in consecutive games. The one he missed in this one came from 53 yards out. He pulled it wide left. That would have been his career-long, and you can’t fault him much for missing anything outside of 50 yards. But extra points are from 33 yards out. And he missed a big one in this game.

The Raiders’ late touchdown drive should have given them a three-point lead, which would mean the Chargers could drive into field goal range to tie it. But Carlson missed the extra point, and with the score 26-24, all the Chargers would need to do is kick a field goal to win it. Lucky for him, the Chargers forgot they could actually run the ball.
