Ahead of Sunday Night Football, the Chargers needed the Ravens to lose one of their next two games (vs. Steelers, @ Bengals) while they won out to maximize their chances at moving up into the No. 5 seed and earning a date with the AFC South winner in the wild card round.
Well, after the Ravens lost to the Steelers on Sunday night, the Chargers are now already in the No. 5 seed and will just need either a win over the Broncos or a Ravens loss to the Bengals to clinch the seed entirely.
