Chargers vs. Jaguars free live streams: How to watch 2023 NFL playoff game without cable image

Two of the NFL's brightest young QB stars make their postseason debuts Saturday, as Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars face Justin Herbert and the Chargers in AFC wild-card action. 

In just his second year in the league, Lawrence led the Jaguars to their first AFC South title since 2017. It looked bleak for most of the season, as Jacksonville sat at 4-8 after Week 13. But the Jags went on a five-game winning streak to close out the year to finish 9-8, capping off the regular season by defeating the Titans in a Week 18 win-and-in matchup. 

Los Angeles was in the playoff mix for most of the regular season, ending with a record of 10-7. The team finished second in the AFC West behind the Chiefs and is making its first playoff appearance since 2018. 

The two teams met in Week 3, where the Jaguars crushed the Chargers 38-10 at SoFi Stadium.
