The LA Chargers play the Houston Texans on Saturday for the first time since the team's season-ending Wild Card loss in January. While Los Angeles has moved on to the 2025 campaign, the team is obviously aware of the gravity of the rematch.
It’s not just about bitter feelings still lingering either. From a playoff contention point of view, this game will determine a lot for the Chargers. Both Houston and Buffalo are trying to chase them down for the 5th seed.
On top of that, the Chargers basically need to win this game to stay alive in AFC West contention.
