If the rest of this season's NFL playoffs are anything like the first game, it's a postseason that will be talked about for years to come. Saturday's overtime thriller between the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans featured a little bit of everything, including something that's sadly become all too familiar to Texans fans in the playoffs—Houston digging itself into a hole early.

The Texans were able to mount the biggest comeback of the Bill O'Brien era though, eking out a 22-19 win that will move Houston on to the Divisional Round. The team was able to do so because of a much more pleasant familiarity for fans of the franchise—and something that should send a shiver down the spine of every other team on the AFC side of the bracket.
