The NFL playoffs have arrived as the postseason gets underway this weekend.
Leading off the Wild Card round will be a pair of AFC matchups, with the No. 4 seed Houston Texans (10-7) hosting the No. 5 seed Los Angeles Chargers (11-6) followed by a classic AFC North showdown with the No. 3 seed Baltimore Ravens (12-5) welcoming in the No. 6 seed Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7).
The Texans won the AFC South but QB C.J. Stroud notably took a small step back following his Rookie of the Year campaign last season with injuries to their wide receiver core (Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell) being an issue all year long.
Under first year head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers won 11+ games for the first time since 2018 when the organization finished 12-4.
