Gäste » Michael Badgley was not the kicker that everyone

was talking about when Sunday’s games came to an end and that’s a good thing for the Chargers.While they never had a game-winning field goal try clang off an upright Russell Okung Jersey , the Chargers have some history with kicking woes in big postseason spots and that makes it easy to appreciate the job that Badgley did in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Ravens. The rookie hit 5-of-6 field goal attempts to continue the strong run that began when he replaced Caleb Sturgis during the regular season and running back Melvin Gordon said he’s “happy that we have somebody here that we can count on.”“It’s the playoffs,” Badgley said, via ESPN.com. “During the regular season, every point matters. But in the playoffs they matter even more. With the team we’ve got http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-emanuel-jersey , as long as I can go out there and get my side of the job done, we’re definitely a threat, so it’s awesome.”Badgley has now made 20-of-22 field goals and 27-of-28 extra points over the regular season and playoffs, which is a welcome change from past Chargers kickers and a reason for confidence if there’s a need to turn to Badgley in a big spot in New England next weekend. At the end of Sunday night’s game Womens Forrest Lamp Jersey , the Steelers jumped offside on three consecutive Chargers field goals in a desperate attempt to block the game-winning kick. The third time, the Chargers made the kick anyway. But if they hadn’t, the officials could have given them the three points.That’s the word from former NFL heads of officiating Dean Blandino and Mike Pereira, who both said in a video for FOX that committing repeated penalties in an effort to stop the other team from scoring is a penalty itself that can result in the team being given the score.“There is something in the rulebook that I don’t know if a lot of people know about: There is a penalty for continually fouling to prevent a score Mike Williams Jersey ,” Blandino said.Pereira said in situations like the game last night, the rules allow for the referee to just give the team the points.“If you deem that they intentionally did this, intentionally fouled on successive plays . . . the referee could in fact award a score,” Pereira said. “Successive penalties intentionally committed to try to prevent a score http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-philon-jersey , you can go ahead and award a score.”Blandino said he would have supported the referee warning the Steelers after the second offside penalty that if they did it again, the Chargers would be given the points.“The rulebook is clear. You give a warning and after the warning you give a score. I would have strongly considered it after the second one, but certainly the third one,” Blandino said.That result would have been among the strangest endings in NFL history: A team winning a game not because it kicked a game-winning field goal Womens Adrian Phillips Jersey , but because the other team’s penalties prevented it from kicking a game-winning field goal.
