Chargers (12-4) at Baltimore Ravens (10-6)

Date: Sunday, Jan. 6, 10:05 a.m. PT

Last meeting: The Chargers had arguably their worst offensive performance of the season in a 22-10 loss to the Ravens at StubHub Center on Dec. 22. But despite the poor offensive outing, Philip Rivers had an opportunity to steal the game, as the Chargers were on the move down six with three minutes left. Then an Antonio Gates fumble was turned into a 62-yard touchdown return by Ravens cornerback Tavon Young to ice the game. The Chargers’ defense had success, containing the Ravens to 159 rushing yards. On Sunday, the Ravens had 296 rushing yards against the Cleveland Browns.

Ravens at a glance: Baltimore’s season changed when rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson took over as the starter in Week 11, when the Ravens were 4-5 and on a three-game skid. The Ravens now roll into the postseason having won six of their past seven games. Jackson and the rushing attack have gotten most of the credit for the turnaround, but the defense has carried them all season. The Ravens held the Chargers to 198 yards when they played on Dec. 22. The Ravens entered the final week of the regular season No. 1 in total defense and scoring defense. Even with all the Ravens’ recent success, they were nearly bounced from the playoff picture on Sunday after a late rally from the Browns. The Ravens held on to beat the Browns 26-24.

The big question: Can Rivers and the Chargers fix their recent offensive woes?
