Mike McCoy has admitted that the San Diego Chargers did not play well enough to clinch a playoff spot in their final game of the regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The AFC West side controlled their own fate going into today's games, knowing that a win would give them a wildcard place, but they were beaten 19-7 by their divisional rivals.
After the game, the head coach told reporters: "We dug ourselves in a big hole against a good team. As a whole team, we didn't play well enough to win."
The defeat leaves the Chargers third in the division with a 9-7 record in 2014.
