That is the one that stopped SD's momentum right off the bat. It totally took them out of their rhythm and put them back on their heels.
As to the Hochuli call, I say the bottom line is; if the fumble had been called properly, the Chargers would have easily run out the clock, and the Donks wouldn't be celebrating their tainted victory. The Chargers were hosed and should be 1 and 1 instead of looking down the barrell at 0 and 2.

And if San Diego had made more plays during the game and prevented Denver from scoring any of the first 31 points they would have won. Or if they had stopped them on the next two plays or the two point conversion they would have one. The bad call definitely contributed to the loss but it wasn't the only reason they lost this game. I'm sure Hochuli made many fewer mistakes that contributed to this game than the players or coaches of the Chargers. It's just easy to blame the officials. I don't fault you for your passion though. That's why "fan" is short for "fanatic". The Chargers are still a very good team and will recover.
