Chargers vs. Browns score: L.A. earns comeback win by scoring on final five possessions of wild shootout

After a combined 89 points -- and despite missing a late extra point that would've tied it -- the Los Angeles Chargers came out on top in a battle of one-loss teams with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, 47-42. It looked as though Cleveland just needed to run out the clock after Chargers kicker Tristan Vizcaino missed an extra point to keep Los Angeles trailing by a point with around three minutes remaining. However, the Chargers got the ball back and scored, making it four touchdowns and a field goal on their final five possessions, to sneak away with the home win.

Cleveland pushed running back Austin Ekeler into the end zone when he was trying to down to run out more clock so they could get the ball back. Unfortunately, the Browns absolutely botched the time aspect of the game and gave themselves little more than a prayer with time expiring. 

Stay tuned for more takeaways from this wild afternoon game!
