HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans will travel to New England to play the top-seeded Patriots on Saturday night in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
After the Texans beat the Oakland Raiders 27-14 on Saturday afternoon, they had to wait to see who they would play after the Steelers and Dolphins played. Pittsburgh handled Miami and will head to No. 2 Kansas City for a matchup on Sunday.
The Texans’ worst loss of the season came 27-0 in Week 3 to the Patriots and rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who was making his first start in place of the suspended Tom Brady and injured Jimmy Garoppolo.
