Rookie kicker, pressure kick. You've got the weapons, you've got to use them. I guess I cannot understand the tendency for some teams to just shut down a drive once they get into mid-distance field goal range. Heck, the Bolts were moving the chains...why stop? Why leave a playoff game to the leg of a rookie kicker -- one who, while promising, was fairly erratic over the season? Kaeding missed the kick (not an easy one) but the Chargers coaching staff missed the boat. They practically dove off of it, in fact.
