Cardinals beat Chargers after controversial penalty sets up game-winning field goal

The Arizona Cardinals kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers, and a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty helped them to the 17-15 victory.

Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker buried his fifth field goal of the night in Glendale, Arizona to put his squad up 15-14 with less than two minutes to play. But it was more than enough time for Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ offense to get down the field and try at least a field goal of their own to move to 3-4 on the year.

That’s exactly what happened, as Chad Ryland split the uprights with his 32-yard attempt, pushing the Chargers to 3-3 on the year following their bye week.
