The Los Angeles Chargers have clinched a playoff berth but won't rest players heading into Week 18's finale against the Denver Broncos.

The Chargers can clinch the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs.

"Our approach is definitely going to be to try to win this ball game and play as well as we can play heading into the playoffs," Brandon Staley said. "I think that there's certainly an advantage to being the 5-seed, from where I stand."

Staley left open the possibility that some players might not be available on a case-by-case basis because of injuries but expressed no intent to rest players Sunday.

"Going into the playoffs, you've got to be playing football to get to where you want to go," Staley said. "So we're going to try and maximize our group heading into the playoffs, that's for sure."
