One of the nuttiest finishes in recent memory
I don?t normally watch games involving teams I don?t care about unless it?s a championship game, but I am sure glad I had the TV tuned to NBC Sunday night for the NFL regular season finale between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers. I was on the edge of my seat despite not having a rooting interest, so I could imagine what sportsbook managers were doing, as they came two seconds away from losing millions. To set the scene, the Raiders and Chargers were still fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Whichever team won the game would claim a Wild Card spot, whichever team lost was done. But there was one other scenario. Because the Jacksonville Jaguars upset the Indianapolis Colts (who blew a chance at the playoffs by losing to the worst team in the league) and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens, earlier in the day, the Raiders and Chargers could BOTH get into the playoffs if they tied. In that case, the Steelers would be on the outside looking in.
