Who won Chargers vs Browns last night? 

The Los Angeles Chargers and the Cleveland Browns played out a game of a particular vintage that ended 30-28 in favor of Los Angeles.

The Browns will have found the loss particularly hard to take considering they lost by a mere couple of points and two missed field goals during the game would have flipped the result.

All things considered, it was a game no one seemed to want to win.

With their lead at 30-28, Chargers coach Brandon Staley refused to punt on a fourth-and-one. With 1:14 remaining, that gave the ball back to Cleveland on an incomplete pass.

The Browns marched all the way to the Chargers' 35-yard line with no timeouts remaining, but rookie Cade York missed the attempt with 11 seconds on the clock. He had earlier missed a 45-yard attempt as well.

Cleveland were hot off the blocks, jumping into a 14-3 lead in the first quarter. The second quarter saw the Chargers punch back with 14 points of their own, as opposed to seven points from the Browns, as the half ended with Cleveland leading 21-17.

The Chargers again outscored the Browns in the third quarter 10-7 to enter the fourth quarter trailing by one point. An unanswered field goal in the final quarter was enough to give Los Angeles a 30-28 victory.
