Fans at tonight's Chargers-Broncos game were treated to an unusual play......a successful fair catch free kick.  Trailing 21-10 just before halftime, the Chargers punt returner called for a fair catch, but was interfered with, resulting in a penalty, which gave the Chargers one final play with no time left on the clock.  Coach Harbaugh, who doesn't always adhere to convention, figured what the hell, we're going for a 57-yard field goal from the Broncos 47 yard line (no need to snap the ball).  Chargers placekicker Cameron Dicker nailed it.  The Chargers went on to win, 34-27.

To be clear, the Chargers had only the choice of a free kick or no play. They could not run a play from scrimmage.
