In Response To: Before someone asks -- Chargers' late game kick (Chuck Bower)

I questioned when the Chargers went for a field goal on 4th and 1 1/2 yards at the Jets 22 with 4:38 to go, trailing 17-7. I would have gone for the first down because the field goal, while over 90%, is not 100% and will generally only lead to ~50% wins after the Chargers hold the Jets and score a later touchdown. The Chargers had all three time-outs remaining.
