The Los Angeles Chargers lost on Saturday to the Houston Texans and several outcomes cascaded. The Chargers can no longer win the AFC West and the Denver Broncos clinched the division in the biggest one. Secondly, the Chargers fell from fifth to seventh in the playoff race. They still have a playoff spot clinched. Los […]
The regular season is nearing its end and every game matters for the Jacksonville Jaguars right now. Heading into Week 17 vs. the Colts, with the Texans on Jacksonville’s heels after Houston punched their ticket to the postseason thanks to a win over the Chargers on Saturday, the Jags have to win to hold onto […]
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7), having already been eliminated from the playoffs, could start rookie quarterback Riley Leonard in place of longtime veteran Philip Rivers next weekend on the road against the Houston Texans: Obviously, this makes a great deal of sense for the regular season finale. This will presumably […]
A season that started 0-3 and sat at 3-5 at one point is now ending with a guaranteed playoff appearance. The Houston Texans officially punched their ticket the NFL postseason with a 20-16 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Furthermore, they give themselves the tiebreaker over the Chargers for wild card positioning and leave a […]
No matter how good things seem to be, it can always get bad in a hurry. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker was just named to his first Pro Bowl after another standout season. But in his first game since earning the honor, he was about as bad as we’ve ever seen him. Just before halftime, the […]
Saturday update: The Colts were officially eliminated from playoff contention when the Houston Texans beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-16 on Saturday evening. The Indianapolis Colts may or may not be in a do-or-die situation in Week 17 when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Their playoff picture could be settled on Saturday afternoon […]
The Los Angeles Chargers saw their winning streak snapped by the hands of the Houston Texans in a 20-16 loss at SoFi Stadium in Week 17.

We’ve got three games on Saturday in Week 17, starting off with the Houston Texans (10-5) against the Los Angeles Chargers (11-4), followed by the Baltimore Ravens (7-8) against the Green Bay Packers (9-5-1) at night. Here’s who the BGN writers are predicting to win these matchups. The Eagles don’t play until Sunday, when they’ll […]
The ever-expanding soylent green blob that is today’s NFL empire has again deftly entered your holiday consciousness. It’s pro football’s way of handing out gifts, and by that I mean tempting fans to pony up hard-earned money on teams and late-season matchups that too often lack the requisite football drama promised in board room PowerPoint […]
The Los Angeles Chargers host the Houston Texans today in the City of Angels. These teams are fighting for Wild Card spots in the AFC playoff race. Will Houston pick up a huge road win?

We have two games on Saturday this week. The Texans battle the Chargers, then later the Ravens and the Packers tangle. This is an open thread for game chat.

The bad news for your Houston Texans at this point is that they’re mathematically eliminated from the top seed of the AFC playoffs. Class, let’s all thank the Denver Broncos for being useless against the Jaguars last Sunday and then winning on Christmas to make this a reality. The good news is the Texans are […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing for their Week 17 matchup against the Houston Texans at SoFi Stadium.

It’s the holiday season, and that means the NFL is going to attempt to broadcast as many games over as many days as possible. While the Christmas Day triple-header was a debacle, Saturday’s games will have a bigger impact on the postseason, potentially making them a better product for NFL fans to consume. Unfortunately, while […]

The entire fate of the Indianapolis Colts could be decided around 7:30 EST on Saturday in a game they don’t even play. The Colts lost their say in what happens to them a few weeks back when their slide became overwhelmingly long. Now, their season hangs in the balance, and the Houston Texans have a […]

The answer to that question really starts on Saturday night as the Texans have a chance to make the Sunday game against the Jaguars, only important to the Jaguars. Should the Texans lose, only being inferior to the Jags should be the reason for a Colts loss. The Colts would again hold their destiny in […]
The Houston Texans are riding a seven-game winning streak and will look to keep it alive on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. These two teams met in the Wild Card round of the playoffs last season, a game Houston controlled from start to finish in a 32–12 win. The Texans’ elite defense led […]
Another week, another UGLY win. This time, Houston inched their way past the Las Vegas Raiders in one of the more mediocre performances in the DeMeco Ryans era. The offense looked stumped and the defensive line finally showed cracks. Whether the Texans are playing like a “playoff team” or not, they’re at the precipice of […]
The Chargers have waited almost an entire calendar year to get a shot at revenge against the Texans. Back in January, Houston’s defense picked off Justin Herbert four times en route to bouncing the Bolts from the postseason in a game many in The Bolt wish they could completely forget. The thing is, whatever motivation […]
Final Update: The Chargers will be without yet another offensive tackle this week as recent starter at left tackle Jamaree Salyer has been ruled out against the Texans this week. Returner Derius Davis, safety RJ Mickens, and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste were all ruled out for Saturday, as well. Offensive guard Mekhi Becton, defensive tackle Teair […]
