The Houston Texans routed the Los Angeles Chargers 44-22 on Sunday, dropping Los Angeles to 0-8 on the season as the Chargers' winless start stretched into November.

Both CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports confirmed the final score in their Week 9 coverage, with Houston entering the game at 2-5 and pulling away for a comfortable win. The Chargers, who were already 0-7 heading into Sunday, now sit alone at the bottom of the AFC West without a win through nine weeks of the season.

The lopsided result was part of a broader trend across the AFC on Sunday, with several struggling teams — including the Jets in their loss to Kansas City — getting blown out by opponents looking to build momentum down the stretch.

What's next: Los Angeles' coaching staff and front office face mounting questions about the direction of the franchise as the losing streak extends, while Houston will look to build on the win as it tries to climb back into playoff contention from a 2-5 start of its own.
