If you read my playoff prediction piece from earlier in the week, you know how I think this opening round is going to unfold. For those who missed it, I'll give you my Super Bowl pick here and now: Los Angeles Rams over Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ten of the 11 players with the best odds to be named 2026 NFL Most Valuable Player in the final week of the regular season are quarterbacks.

See who's in and who's out for the Wild Card Round matchup between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers on January 11, 2026.

Justin Herbert sat out Week 18 to nurse a broken left hand. The Chargers quarterback had surgery on the non-throwing hand on Dec. 1 and played through it up until last weekend, when the Chargers opted to rest him with an eye toward Wild Card weekend.

The LA Chargers head to Foxborough this Sunday night to take on the New England Patriots in an AFC Wild Card thriller. Sunday's game marks the first playoff game at Gillette Stadium since 2019. Live coverage begins at 7:30 PM ET with Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock.
