Yes, they forced overtime with a field goal, but went empty again to open OT and were done in by venerable kickerRemarkably, the Chargers are the first 0-2 team in NFL history to have scored 50-plus points and committed no turnovers.

But the only team to bounce back from 0-2 to make the playoffs since 2018 was the Cincinnati Bengals last season.Sunday's clash with the Minnesota Vikings might as well be an eliminator.
