Herbert and the Chargers ended the regular season strongly to finish with an 11-6 record, which was better than Houston’s (10-7).

They kicked field goals on their first two possessions before a thrilling finish to the first half saw the Texans snatch a 10-6 lead.

Just over two minutes before half-time, Houston quarterback CJ Stroud fumbled a snap right in front of his own endzone but recovered to complete a 34-yard pass to halfway.

Stroud followed that up with a 37-yard pass to Nico Collins and the pair connected again for the game’s opening touchdown. Houston even managed to add a field goal before the half too.

The Texans then intercepted Herbert on successive drives, with safety Eric Murray returning the first for a 38-yard touchdown to lead 20-6, before Ka’imi Fairbairn added a field goal following the latter.

After Fairbairn’s third field goal, Los Angeles replied with an 86-yard touchdown from Ladd McConkey, but the Chargers’ attempt at an extra point summed up their night.

Cameron Dicker’s kick was blocked and Houston’s D’Angelo Ross recovered the loose ball to run it into the LA endzone and make it 25-12.

Joe Mixon sealed victory by running in a 17-yard touchdown to finish with 106 rushing yards, while Collins had 122 receiving yards and Derek Stingley Jr claimed two interceptions.

Wildcard Weekend continues with three games on Sunday and concludes with one on Monday.
