Another crucial game in the AFC playoff race is about to kick off.
The Los Angeles Chargers, at 11-4, have already secured a place in the postseason. Today, they’ll face off against the Houston Texans, who are on the playoff bubble and hoping to make one of the final two AFC playoff spots theirs.
The Texans are 10-5 this season, sitting just behind the 11-4 Jacksonville Jaguars in their own division. With a win today, the Texans will clinch a playoff spot, but there are still some avenues for them to make the postseason, namely an Indianapolis loss tomorrow.
