The Houston Texans will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. The game between two AFC opponents will be held on Saturday, December 27, and will be the first of two NFL tilts today.
The Texans enter the game at 10-5, in second place in the AFC South. Houston still needs to clinch a playoff spot and heads into the week as the current No. 7 seed in the AFC. The Texans have a simple way to earn a playoff berth in Week 17:
Win.
Houston can also clinch a spot if the Indianapolis Colts lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as via another convoluted scenario requiring six specific wins over the weekend.
Los Angeles, on the other hand, is already playoff-bound. The Chargers have clinched a playoff berth and are now playing for seeding. Los Angeles can still win the AFC West, but it would need to win this week and have the Denver Broncos lose to the Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs. More likely, Los Angeles is playing for wild-card seeding and aiming to earn the No. 5 seed, which would go on the road to face the weakest division winner.
