For the first time since January 2020, the New England Patriots are set to host a playoff game at Gillette Stadium.
New England’s improbable turnaround campaign will continue on Sunday when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round — with kick-off from Foxborough set for 8 p.m.
The 14-3 Patriots like their chances in their own building on Sunday night. But a shorthanded — albeit scrappy — Chargers team figures to be a tough out against Drake Maye and New England.
“They’re kind of like an out-west Ravens,” Stefon Diggs said Wednesday of the Chargers.
