A crazy couple of minutes in the Chargers-Ravens playoff game saw three potential touchdowns scored. But which were TDs and which weren't?

The Los Angeles Chargers generally dominated their Wild Card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, though there were a crazy couple of minutes to start the fourth quarter that had a big bearing on the result of the game.

With the Chargers leading 12-3 at the time, Derek Watt - brother of J.J and T.J. - appeared to sneak in for a touchdown at the end of the third period.

The play was reviewed, with the fullback ultimately ruled short of the endzone - a somewhat contentious decision, especially as the subsequent spot of the ball was at the one-yard line rather than inches from the goal line.

The Los Angeles Chargers held off a late Baltimore Ravens fightback to advance from the AFC Wild Card round.

Next, more madness ensued! Melvin Gordon tried to dive in for the score on 3rd-and-Goal but, in doing so, he fumbled the football, with Marlon Humphrey then running it all the way back to the opposite endzone.

Touchdown Ravens, and a 12-9 ball game? No.

Officials ruled Gordon had got into the endzone before losing the football and so a Chargers touchdown. So, the score 18-3, rather than 12-9? No again.

After a long review, it was ruled Gordon was down before the endzone. Fourth down…

The Chargers go for it, and this time Gordon does get into the endzone - with a two-point conversion successfully added - to see the Chargers stretch out 20-3 in front after a mad couple of minutes.
