D'Angelo Ross Scores Two Points After Blocked PAT

In a dramatic turn of events during the Wild Card playoff game, the Houston Texans scored two points after a blocked extra point attempt by the Los Angeles Chargers. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had just thrown an 86-yard touchdown pass to Ladd McConkey, narrowing the Texans' lead to 23-12. However, the ensuing extra point kick by Cameron Dicker was blocked by Denico Autry, and in a misjudgment, Dicker attempted to bat the ball down instead of letting the play die. This allowed Texans cornerback D'Angelo Ross to recover the live ball and return it for two points, extending Houston's lead to 25-12. This marked only the ninth time since 2000 that an extra point has been returned for a score and was the first instance in the playoffs during that time frame. The Chargers now faced a two-touchdown deficit instead of just needing a touchdown and a field goal to tie the game.
