It was a game that seemed destined to end in a tie—that is, until Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins came to the rescue on one healthy leg.
Like virtual Greg Jennings before him, Hopkins put the team on his back despite playing the entire game with a hamstring injury, drilling four field goals—including the game-winner in overtime—as Los Angeles scored a 19-16 win over the Broncos.
Hopkins also drilled his lone extra point attempt, providing nearly all the scoring for a Chargers offense that only mustered 297 total yards on 12 drives. It was just the fifth time in Hopkins’s 109-game career that he’s made at least four field goals, and is tied for his fourth-highest single-game scoring output.
