After beating the Rams on Sunday, the Chargers put them in a position to finish no worse than the sixth seed.
But after the Ravens lost to the Steelers on Sunday night, Los Angeles is in the driver’s seat for the fifth seed.
The Bolts can solidify the fifth spot with a win over the Broncos next weekend.
This is the most ideal scenario for L.A.
With the No. 5 seed, the Chargers would play the fourth seed, which will be the AFC South winner between the Titans and the Jaguars.
Should they finish as the sixth seed, Los Angeles would be set to face the third seed, whether that be the Bills, Chiefs, Bengals or Ravens, on the road.
With the defense dominating the last four weeks, Joey Bosa back on the field, and the offense finding its groove, the Bolts are primed to be a dangerous team in postseason play.
