Two key throws made the difference

The Chargers-Patriots game had a lot of great moments, but I'd say the game came down to two throws: one Phillip Rivers didn't make, and one he shouldn't have tried.

The one Rivers missed was in the back of the end zone and would have been a touchdown, but he didn't see the wide open receiver and threw underneath. The Chargers settled for a field goal.

The one he shouldn't have thrown was the interception in Chargers' territory which Tom Brady immediately turned into a touchdown for the Patriots.

That was a 14-point swing. If Rivers throws the touchdown and doesn't throw the interception, it was a whole different game.
