The Chargers will open the NFL playoffs with an AFC wild-card game on Saturday at Houston and the Rams will close the weekend with a Monday night game at home.

The Los Angeles Chargers will visit the Houston Texans in Round 1 of the NFL playoff bracket on Saturday. There, the Chargers will look to keep playing with house money in Year 1 of the Jim Harbaugh experience by stealing a road win after closing the season on a three-game heater that included outbursts of 34 or more points in each contest.

The NFL announced the full schedule for Wild Card weekend. The Chargers will travel to take on the Texans next Saturday, Jan 11, at 1:30 pm PT. The game will be televised on CBS. Los Angeles won its final three games of the season and finished with an 11-6 record and the fifth seed. Houston finished the season 10-7 and champions of the AFC South.

NFL playoffs are almost set. This year's postseason field will include several fresh faces with the Washington Commanders, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers all set to compete for Super Bowl LIX.

The NFL announced the full wild-card schedule for next weekend and the Rams will play in the final game of the first round against either the Minnesota Vikings or Detroit Lions. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday Night Football, which will be broadcast by ESPN with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth.

The Los Angeles Chargers have enjoyed a great season under head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers had hoped to turn their fortunes around after finishing 5-12 last season and sitting in last place in the AFC West.
