We get another weekend of playoff football featuring the Houston Texans.
Following a lopsided win over the Los Angeles Chargers, the Texans will take on another AFC West foe. This time, it's the No. 1 seed Kansas City Chiefs.
It's the second time this season Houston will head to Kansas City, falling 27-19 against them in Week 16. That was the same game where Tank Dell suffered a severe knee injury, which seemed to take the sails out of the offense.
This week, there's more on the line with the winner heading to the AFC Championship Game. Houston is the only team in the NFL not to play in that game, so a victory would be huge for them.
With it being in Kansas City, the Chiefs have the home-field advantage. The weather is also on their side, but this Houston team should never be counted out.
All that said, let's take a look at which announcers will call the action and which referee crew will keep order.
