Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Houston Texans could be the next step for the Los Angeles Chargers toward building a winning franchise. The team will need one unit to step up in a big way.

The Chargers arrived in Houston on Thursday after adjusting their practice schedule the past two days during the devastating wildfires.

With head coach turnover also comes roster churn. Only 15 of the 44 total starters from the 2022 game remain on either side. Houston boasts a new quarterback in C.J. Stroud while Chargers starter Justin Herbert will see almost an entirely new defense under Ryans.
