Stroud\u2019s squad, who beat Los Angeles in the first round of the playoffs a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Chargers are 11-4, which is one game back the Denver Broncos in the AFC West. A win would give the Chargers a chance to clinch the division by beating the Broncos on the road in Week 18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Texans will be coming into the game with a lot on the line because a win for them would clinch a spot in the playoffs if the Colts lose to the Niners on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This will be a big game for both teams and it should give a taste of what playoff football will look like. The Chargers want revenge from last year\u2019s loss, but the Texans won\u2019t give it to them easy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kickoff between the Texans and Chargers is set for Saturday at 1:30 p.m. PT from SoFi Stadium.
