The New England Patriots took a 6-3 lead into halftime against the Los Angeles Chargers in their wild-card game on Sunday night. A long scramble by Drake Maye set up a field goal in the final seconds to give the Patriots the lead, but should the Patriots have even had the ball?
On the previous Chargers posession, officials ignored what should have been called roughing the passer against the Patriots defense. Facing second-and-three from their own 35, Justin Herbert dropped back to pass and was hit in the head by defensive end Milton Williams. Herbert went down for a sack, but no flag was thrown.
