Foxborough: The Los Angeles Chargers are set to take on the New England Patriots in a game that could shake up the AFC playoff picture. With a win, the Chargers can secure one of the last playoff spots. They come into this game with a 9-6 record, but they’ve had a rough patch lately, losing three of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Patriots are struggling at 3-12, trying to find their footing in a rebuilding year after Bill Belichick’s departure.
In this matchup, the Chargers are looking to build some momentum for the playoffs. They need to shake off their recent losses and show they can compete. The Patriots, on the other hand, have lost six of their last seven games, but rookie quarterback Drake Maye has been a bright spot, completing nearly 70% of his passes recently.
Later on Saturday, the Denver Broncos will face the Cincinnati Bengals, both teams vying for playoff spots. The Broncos, also at 9-6, can clinch a playoff berth with a win, while the Bengals, at 7-8, need a victory to keep their postseason hopes alive. The Bengals have been on a roll, winning three straight games, thanks to their explosive offense led by Joe Burrow.
In the NFC, the Rams are in a position to clinch the NFC West with a win against the Arizona Cardinals, who were eliminated from playoff contention last week. The Rams have been on a winning streak, but they need to keep their scoring up to secure the division title.
