The Bolts could wind up anywhere among the bottom three playoff spots once Week 18 comes to a close.
With their 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans this past Saturday, the Los Angeles Chargers were officially eliminated from the AFC West race, which also eliminated the Bolts from the race for the No. 1 seed, which can now only be won by the Denver Broncos, the New England Patriots, or the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Bolts, of course, will square off with the Broncos in Week 18, albeit without Justin Herbert under center, as Jim Harbaugh is opting to rest his Pro Bowl quarterback (and likely several other starters) ahead of the Wild Card Round.
