Arash Markazi and producer Ji Hae Wiley recap a crazy football weekend in Los Angeles where USC came back from being down 27-17 in less than three minutes to beat Arizona State in the season opener and the Chargers momentarily came back from being down 28-17 to beat the Raiders on the last play of the game before they didn’t.
