Storylines for today's NFL games
- The Chargers are looking to win a playoff game for the first time in Justin Herbert's career. He threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns in his last game against the Texans, which came during the 2022 NFL season, and Los Angeles is expected to be favored on the road against Houston.
- The Texans enter the playoffs averaging just 13.75 points per game over their last four outings. They also have a 1-5 record against teams that are above .500. Can they change their season-long luck against a Chargers team that is 3-5 against opponents that are .500 or better?
- The Steelers enter the NFL playoffs on a four-game losing streak and are battling the Denver Broncos for the title of largest underdog in the wild-card round. Pittsburgh split the season series with Baltimore 1-1 but are 8-2 in their last 10 games against the Ravens.
- The Ravens beat the Steelers by 17 points the last time the two squared off. No team has won back-to-back games in the series by 10-plus points since the Ravens in 2006. Lamar Jackson would like to change that history and improve upon his passer rating of 73.1 against the Steelers, which is his worst against any one team.
- Baltimore and Pittsburgh last met in the playoffs 10 years ago; the Ravens won that contest 30-17 behind 259 yards and two touchdowns from Joe Flacco and big days from Steve Smith (5 catches, 101 yards) and Owen Daniels (4 catches, 70 yards). Ben Roethlisberger started for the Steelers and threw his lone touchdown to Martavis Bryant while Antonio Brown caught nine passes for 117 yards.
