Longhorns in the NFL: Divisional Round preview

AUSTIN, Texas – The NFL Playoffs continue this weekend with the divisional round, the second weekend of postseason play. Thirteen former Texas Football stars are part of teams still competing this season, with that group representing seven of the eight franchises still alive in the playoffs.

In the first matchup of the weekend, former Longhorns Kris Boyd (2015-18) and Holton Hill (2015-17) will compete with the Minnesota Vikings against the San Francisco 49ers. Standout wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, a Longhorn from 2009-12 and current 49er, was placed on injured reserve back in December. Kickoff in Santa Clara, California, is set for 3:35 p.
