The Chargers are back in the playoffs after finishing last season with a 5-12 record. Much of their success can be attributed to head coach Jim Harbaugh, who has a proven track record in the playoffs, with a 5-3 record in the postseason and three trips to the Conference Championship.
Harbaugh has been to as many Super Bowls as the Chargers have: one. That Super Bowl appearance for the Bolts came back in 1995 when they lost to the 49ers, 49-26.
The Chargers’ all-time record in the playoffs, which dates back to 1960, is 12-19. They have played well in the wild-card round, currently with a 6-3 record. The Bolts have struggled in the divisional round, winning just four of 12 games.
The Chargers have been to the Conference Championship four times and are 1-3.
If the Bolts can beat the Texans, it will only fit the theme of them historically being a good team in the wild-card round.
