Published On: Wed Dec 24 2025
Description: The Los Angeles Chargers face a massive test against the Houston Texans, and in this episode of Locked On Chargers, hosts Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier break down all the keys to victory for Week 17! Can rookie running back Omarion Hampton prove why he was a first-round pick and carry the load against an elite Texans defense? Will Justin Herbert bounce back after last year's nightmare playoff meeting, protect the football, and use his running ability to keep the chains moving? The guys discuss what the offense needs—from better production on the ground, to the supporting cast stepping up and making plays, and how to keep Herbert upright against a ferocious pass rush. On the defensive side, the Chargers must dominate the line of scrimmage, force turnovers, and contain C.J. Stroud and top Texans weapons Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz. Can the trio of Khalil Mack, Tuli Tuipulotu, and Odafe Oweh get after the quarterback and force mistakes? Plus, hear BOLD predictions for the game, how the Chargers can finally flip the script against a team that's consistently had their number, and final score predictions that set up a dramatic AFC West finish.Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
