Where to watch?
- The Chargers-Texans game will air on CBS and stream on Paramount Plus.
The Houston Texans are back in the playoffs for the second consecutive year. They went 10-7 on the season, which was good enough to win the AFC South division behind an offense led by second-year QB C.J. Stroud and a defense helmed by second-year defensive end Will Anderson Jr. and veteran end Danielle Hunter.
The Chargers missed the playoffs last season, but first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh has led the team to an 11-6 record and the top Wild Card spot in the AFC. Quarterback Justin Herbert has found a new favorite target in rookie receiver Ladd McConkey, and running back J.K. Dobbins is a candidate for comeback player of the year in his first year in LA.
The Chargers and Texans kick off in Houston on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT). It's available to watch nationally on CBS or stream on Paramount Plus.
