With one game remaining in Week 12 of the 2024-25 NFL season, the current fifth and sixth seeds in the AFC will meet on Monday Night Football. The game will be held at LA’s SoFi Stadium, with a kickoff set for 8:15 PM on ESPN.
The Los Angeles Chargers are 7-3 and seeking to hold on to their number five overall wild card position in the AFC. This year’s turnaround can be directly attributed to the hiring of head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Los Angeles finished last in the division in 2023-24 with a 4-13 record and have already eclipsed that mark by three wins.
There’s not much chance of the Chargers catching up with the 9-1 Chiefs in the AFC West division, but they’ll need the win tonight to keep pace.
LA also needs to be wary of the 7-5 Denver Broncos, who hold the 7th seed. A Chargers loss would put them back into a dead heat for second place in the division.
The Baltimore Ravens are 7-4 and lag behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North due to their head-to-head loss in Week 11. Baltimore
