With the next round of the NFL playoffs in place, the winners from wild-card weekend — San Diego, Arizona, Baltimore and Philadelphia — might want to pop in their game footage from earlier this season and, in essence, follow the instructions on a typical shampoo bottle, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Watch. Wince. Repeat.

Why wince? Because all four are headed for rematches with teams that narrowly beat them this season.

San Diego lost to Pittsburgh, 11-10.

Baltimore lost to Tennessee, 13-10.

Arizona lost to Carolina, 27-23.

Philadelphia lost to the New York Giants, 36-31, before beating them on their home turf a month later.

Now, with their postseason survival hanging in the balance, everybody gets another chance. And San Diego, for one, is ready to show Sunday it is not the same team as the 4-5 one that stumbled onto Heinz Field seven weeks ago.

"I believe we're a lot better team now than we were six weeks ago or eight weeks ago," Coach Norv Turner said. "That's going to be a part of it. You're in the playoffs and you're playing a team that's got home-field advantage and is an outstanding team. We're going to have to be at our best."

The Chargers, the first team in NFL history to make the playoffs after a 4-8 start, have won five games in a row. They were still floating on a cloud Sunday, hours after beating Indianapolis in overtime to keep their reheated Super Bowl hopes alive.

"As a coach," Turner said, "you live to be involved in a game like that."
