Chargers vs. Patriots channel today: Start time, TV, live stream for Saturday game

The Los Angeles Chargers head east to face the New England Patriots in a Week 17 battle between two teams headed in different directions as the NFL regular season winds down.
Los Angeles (9-6) is on the brink of clinching a playoff berth. A win (or even a tie) at Gillette Stadium would seal the deal, while the right set of results elsewhere could even send the Chargers to the postseason should they stumble Saturday. Last week, Los Angeles came from 11 points down to pick up a huge 34-27 win, completing a season sweep of the Denver Broncos.
New England (3-12) has a very different outlook, with this weekend's aim simply ending a five-game losing streak. Last time out, the Patriots suffered their sixth one-score loss of the season, falling 24-21 to the Buffalo Bills. It's been a hard-luck season in New England, with the focus now on evaluating pieces for next season.
