The Wild Card round starts in Houston, as usual!
The NFL Playoffs are here!
No, the Seattle Seahawks are not taking part in the postseason, but there are plenty of former Seahawks scattered throughout the playoff field. Tight end Will Dissly and defensive tackle Poona Ford are on the Los Angeles Chargers and playing very well. The Houston Texans don’t have any former Seahawks to my knowledge, so I guess I’m pulling Chargers.
With the Texans down several key players on both sides of the ball, the Chargers are understandably road favorites against the AFC South champion. The Chargers finished with the top scoring defense, while Houston’s offense has generally sputtered and disappointed after such a quality rookie season by C.J. Stroud.
The Chargers haven’t won a playoff game since 2018 under Philip Rivers and Anthony Lynn. Does that long spell without a postseason victory end today?
CBS has the kickoff at 4:30 pm ET/1:30 pm PT.
