The Chargers have several avenues to secure a playoff spot with a win over the Cowboys. Dallas, however, may be eliminated by the Eagles the day before.
To recap, here is how the Chargers can punch their ticket to the playoffs. Scenario No. 1: The Chargers beat the Cowboys and the Texans lose or tie against the Raiders. Scenario No. 2: The Chargers beat or tie the Cowboys and the Colts lose to the 49ers. Scenario No. 3: The Chargers beat the Cowboys and the Colts tie with the 49ers.
If the playoff picture ends how it currently looks, then the Chargers would travel to either Pittsburgh or Baltimore for the Wild Card round.
