No, the Chargers didn't have any timeouts remaining. They review every play under the 2 minute mark. The referee said in his official call that the play was actually a fumble, but since he blew his whistle during play (thinking it was an incomplete pass), the ball was ruled dead where and who had pocession at the time (which still out of the grasps of the Chargers and was back around the 10 yard line).
It was a mistake by the referee, but if anyone says they robbed Chargers of the win, they're nuts. It was a freak play that really shouldn't have effected the outcome of the game. The Chargers has 2 plays to stop the Broncos on the 10 yard line and another chance to thwart their 2-point conversion. It's their fault, not the refs.
