The Houston Texans advance to the divisional round after an impressive defensive performance that gave Justin Herbert and the Chargers no chance

After rebounding from a horrendous start during which they looked half asleep, the Houston Texans came from behind to defeat the visiting Los Angeles Chargers 32-12, advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs in the process.

Justin Herbert and the Chargers beat the Denver ... an unnecessary roughness that extended the Chargers’ drive. RB Gus Edwards rushed for a 5-yard touchdown after the penalty.

Stroud tallied just one touchdown during Saturday’s opening Wildcard Round matchup. His passing game was so so, but his rushing plays stood out, with a 27-yard scamper that moved the Texans to a field goal range at the end of the first half. From 41 yards out, Ka’imi Fairbairn made it count.
