New York failed to score a touchdown Thursday night and came up short against Dallas.

The Chargers won't have injured Joey Bosa, Junior Colson and Rashawn Slater for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs, while several notables -- including Justin Herbert and Joe Alt -- remain questionable.

We're looking ahead to how the 14-team playoff picture could line up en route to Super Bowl LIX.
