Texans force Justin Herbert into nightmare day, dominate Chargers in wild-card win

The Houston Texans weren’t particularly good in the second half of the season. They were just 4-5 after a 6-2 start, and looked like a team that was lucky to play in the weak AFC South.

But the Texans will be one of the last eight teams standing in this NFL season. Houston had a fantastic defensive game, C.J. Stroud made a few big plays to overcome some of the Texans’ offensive mistakes and Houston eliminated the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday with a 32-12 win.

The Chargers were still in the game before Houston’s consistent pressure forced Justin Herbert into his worst mistake of the day.
