Part 2/7:
The game kicked off with the Chargers' offense going three-and-out, immediately putting Denver in the driver's seat. Bo Nix and the Broncos effectively marched down the field, quickly taking control early in the contest. However, the tide of the game shifted dramatically with a strategic timeout called by Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. With just eight seconds left in the first half, Harbaugh called the timeout specifically to force Denver to punt the ball. This decision set the stage for a rare and intriguing moment in football: the free kick.
