Ahead of the matchup, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh heaped praise on the Texans' defense and offense.

"Defensively, really good," Harbaugh said, via Yahoo. "Really good against the run, not a lot of people running the ball on them. They're playing really well on the back end."

"C.J. Stroud is really elite," Harbaugh added. "Nico Collins is elite. They've got great playmakers, great competitors. It's gonna take our A-game. We'll turn all our preparation and focus towards the Texans. I know we're gonna have to play good, that I can tell ya."

Harbaugh believes the Chargers need to play their A-game to defeat the Texans in the first round of the playoffs. The game will be nationally televised on CBS.
