Oregon’s own Justin Herbert leads the Los Angeles Chargers against the New England Patriots today in this electrifying AFC Wild Card showdown.

After a 3-5 start, Houston (12-5) won nine consecutive games, including three victories over eventual playoff teams. The Texans' winning streak has been the byproduct of an emerging young receiving corps, the steady play of quarterback C.J. Stroud and a defense that finished No. 2 in the NFL in points allowed during the regular season.

With Williams back in the line-up, San Francisco’s usually potent offence – which was held to just three points in Week 18 by the stout Seattle defence – immediately got an explosive play through the air to Demarcus Robinson and the veteran receiver popped up again for the go-ahead touchdown.
