The Chargers will open the NFL's wild-card weekend, and the Rams will close it. LOS ANGELES — The Chargers will open the NFL's wild-card weekend, and the Rams will close it. The Chargers will play at Houston at 1:30 p.m. PST Saturday, and the Rams will play host to Minnesota on "Monday Night Football" at 5 p.m.

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 Broncos join three other teams newly qualifying for the postseason: the Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders and Minnesota Vikings. All four will be back on the field Jan. 11-13 with eight other teams in what the NFL calls "Super Wild Card Weekend."
