The Buffalo Bills are set to clash with the Houston Texans this afternoon to kick off the 2019 NFL Playoffs. This is the first meeting of the two franchises in the playoffs, as Houston came into the league in 2002. It’s Houston’s sixth playoff berth overall, and fourth in the last five years. For Buffalo, this marks their second playoff appearance since the Texans’ franchise inception, both of which have come in the last three years.
Josh Allen makes his first career playoff start, while Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson makes his second.
