The Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars will face off on Super Wild Card Weekend on Saturday night, as the two will battle for a potential date with the No. 1 seed Kansas City Chiefs. Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence battled in Week 3 earlier this year, with the Jaguars leaving California with a 38-10 victory. Are the Chargers due for some revenge?
