The Los Angeles Chargers ended the first half of Thursday's victory over the Denver Broncos with one of the rarest plays in football, Caio Miari of theScore reports.

Cameron Dicker nailed a 57-yard fair catch kick to cut the Chargers' deficit to 21-13 at the end of the second quarter.

The fair catch kick rule allows a team that's just made a fair catch to attempt a free kick from the spot of the catch. The attempt can't be blocked, and, if converted, it's worth three points.

"It's my favorite rule. I wanted it so bad," Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said postgame, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

The Chargers were in a position to attempt a fair catch kick after Broncos cornerback Tremon Smith committed a fair catch interference penalty that gave Los Angeles 15 extra yards following a Denver punt.

A team may attempt a fair catch kick if it calls a fair catch when the clock expires at the end of either half.

"I have been trying to get one in every game," Harbaugh added, according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post. "When Cameron Dicker made it, it got the momentum back. This was our chance."

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said at halftime that his team practices fair catch kicks, according to ESPN's Benjamin Solak.
