Even though the Oakland Raiders were unable to clinch the AFC West last week against the Denver Broncos, the team is ready to begin the playoffs. The Silver and Black have been preparing for the Houston Texans all week, and will put their work to the test Saturday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. PST.
NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, will play host to the AFC Wild Card game which will feature two stout defenses with athletic pass rushers. The Raiders rushing attack finished the season eighth overall with 1,922 total yards and 120.1 yards per game, but the Texans defense ranked 12th in rushing yards allowed, only giving up 99.
