Heading into the Los Angeles Chargers' match-up against the Houston Texans, a lot of people were handing the win to the Bolts. People didn't seem to think that the Texans had what it took to hang around in the game and former Jets and Bills head coach Rex Ryan even went as far as saying that this game was basically a bye week for the Chargers.
Well, that's not what went down at NRG Stadium, as the Chargers got blasted by the Texans. Houston won the game 32-12 even after a slow start. The Chargers led 6-0 until the end of the first half when the Texans scored a touchdown and never looked back.
Even after the Chargers got things to within single digits in the fourth quarter, the optimism didn't last long as the ensuing extra point was blocked and returned the other way. The Chargers did indeed Charger and this time on the brightest of stages.
Kansas City Chiefs fans were watching this game with a lot of interest, as there's a solid chance that K.C. faces the winner of this game next week in the divisional round. While that was certainly a factor in why Chiefs fans were watching the game, watching the Chargers be the same ol' Chargers was a lot of fun to witness.
First, we have those who pointed out how much of a dumpster fire this game was for the Chargers. Some fans even knew that hyping this team up too much was a mistake.
It wasn't all bad for the Chargers, however, as rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey had himself a day at the office. He looked to be the only Chargers player who showed up for the game.
Next, we look at those who were critical of Justin Herbert following an atrocious performance on a big stage.
One AFC West opponent has officially been eliminated from the playoffs. Chiefs fans will be tuning in to the Sunday afternoon game between the Bills and Broncos to see how that one plays out. It's tricky because on the one hand, it's best if the Bills get eliminated, but it's also hard to root for the Broncos in anything.
Right now though, simply getting to laugh at the Chargers getting blown out and eliminated is funny enough.
