Since the Ravens play Sunday hours before the Chargers, if Baltimore loses to Cincinnati then L.A. clinches AFC's 5 seed before its kickoff and the Denver game becomes meaningless.
The Chargers won consecutive games without injured safety Derwin James Jr., the versatile star of their defense, and he's getting ready to rejoin the crew.
The Chargers seem to be in a three-way battle with the New York Jets and New England Patriots for the final playoff spot in the AFC, and L.A. seems to have the most favorable schedule.
