INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Of all the rules in football, Jim Harbaugh considers the obscure fair-catch kick to be his favorite.
The Los Angeles Chargers coach had the opportunity to try one Thursday night for only the second time in his career.
This time, his kicker got three points from one of the most unusual plays in the sport.
Cameron Dicker made the first successful fair-catch kick in the NFL since 1976, connecting from 57 yards right before halftime against the Denver Broncos.
