The Patriots and Chargers play on Sunday in the wild-card playoff round of the 2025 NFL postseason. It's expected that linebacker Robert Spillane and offensive lineman Jared Wilson will start for the Patriots. Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is questionable to play with an ankle injury.

Now Herbert is seeking his very first playoff win. Both of his previous postseason losses came on the road in the Wild Card Round. The Chargers fell 32-12 to the Texans last year, and in 2022, they lost 31-30 to the Jaguars after blowing a 27-0 lead.

Drake Maye led the way for the Patriots, who knocked off the top-seeded Broncos in inclement weather, particularly in the second half, in Denver. The second-year QB was 10-of-21 passing for 86 yards. He added 10 carries for 65 yards, highlighted by a 6-yard TD run in the second quarter.
