The Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers are set to face one another in the first Wild Card Game of the weekend.

Houston is led by head coach DeMeco Ryans, quarterback C.J. Stroud, and defensive end Will Anderson. All three are in their second season and Anderson says they have confidence after making it to the Divisional Round last year.

Looking ahead to this game, the Chargers had some questions surrounding their backfield. Both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are dealing with ankle injuries with Dobbins being labeled "questionable." He's good to go, however, as neither back is on the inactive list.
