Bold two-point call by Brandon Staley lifts Chargers over Cardinals

LA Times  

Chargers coach Brandon Staley calls a time out against the Arizona Cardinals in the second half. By calling for quarterback Justin Herbert to find tight end Gerald Everett on a late two-point conversion attempt that came off “as smooth as chocolate milk,” as Staley described it after the Chargers’ 25-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, the coach kept his players’ trust and kept them in contention for a playoff spot. “I imagined that we were going to go for it just because that’s kind of how aggressive that we play, and I love that about our coach,” Herbert said. “I felt like we’d have good answers against the defenses they might play and we wanted to finish the game on our terms,” he said. “When we made a couple first downs and the clock was winding we said, ‘Hey, under 40 seconds, that’s going to be our mindset.’ ” Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and tight end Gerald Everett celebrate their winning two-point conversion pass against the Arizona Cardinals.
