The NFL has flexed the upcoming Week 17 game between the Chargers and Texans to Saturday, December 27. The date and time of the game were initially not determined.
New game details
With the Chargers (9-4) and Texans (8-5) firmly in the AFC playoff picture, it made sense for the game to be a standalone spot that a wider audience could tune in to.
The last time Los Angeles and Houston faced off was the 2025 AFC Wild Card, where the Texans defeated the Chargers 32-12.
In addition to the Texans-Chargers game, the NFL also flexed the Ravens vs. Packers matchup to Saturday, December 27, scheduled for 5:00 p.m. PT on Peacock.
