Win-and-in: Chargers will clinch playoff birth with victory over Colts

There are still three weeks remaining in the regular season, but the Chargers can punch their ticket to the playoffs in Week 16.

Los Angeles must defeat the Colts on Monday night for that to happen.

The Bolts found themselves in this win-and-in situation after the Jets, Patriots and Raiders all lost their perspective games this past week.

L.A. is currently sitting with a 92% chance of making the playoffs. If they lose to Indianapolis, their chances drop to 86%.

The Chargers have not made the playoffs since 2018.

Should Los Angeles win and get into the playoffs, it would then play to determine seeding. As of now, the Bolts are the sixth seed, but they have a chance to get the fifth seed.
