Chargers vs. Texans today: Start time, TV, live stream for Saturday's NFL wild card game
The NFL playoffs begin with the Los Angeles Chargers facing off against the Houston Texans in an AFC wild-card game on Saturday.

Stroud leads the team, boasting a completion rate of 63.2% along with 3,727 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions during the regular season. However, it is Houston's defense, a formidable force known for putting pressure on quarterbacks with a total of 49 sacks, that may serve as the key to the Texans' success.

This marks their second playoff appearance in the past three seasons but their first under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh.
