Here is a video of the onside kick that San Diego managed to recover at a critical time.
Three plays and two consecutive first downs later, Rivers hit Jackson deep on the right side of the field for a 29-yard touchdown pass. It was Jackson’s third touchdown of the game. He has seven catches for 141 yards to go with those three touchdowns.
With more than two minutes left to play, San Diego needs a touchdown to tie the game and beat the undefeated Packers, something that would be one of the bigger upsets of the season.
