What happened: Los Angeles halted its late drive and sent out the field-goal unit from 48 yards. The call left Harrison Mevis to attempt the kick with the game still in the balance.

Why it matters: Settling from that distance put the outcome on a kicker coming off a September miss. Los Angeles holds just $1.058M in cap room, limiting midseason fixes at the position.

What to watch: Watch whether Los Angeles stays with Mevis or brings in competition before cold-weather kicks arrive.
