Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh won't be listening to the outside noise before his meeting with DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans. However, experience will be on Harbaugh's side.

First-year Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh isn’t one of those doubting Houston’s potential in a winner-take-all showdown. He understands that at their peak, the Texans can cause defensive fits for Justin Herbert and a surging Chargers offense.

Harbaugh says Herbert’s pass to Ladd McConkey for a two-point conversion Sunday was a more difficult throw than Joe Montana’s legendary pass to Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC title game.
