Houston Texans secured a playoff berth for the third consecutive season following a 20-16 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. C.J. Stroud threw two touchdowns and the league-leading defense sacked Justin Herbert five times as Houston extended its winning streak to eight games. DeMeco Ryans became just the sixth head coach since 2000 to reach the postseason in each of his first three years following an 0-3 start.
