Divisional Round Weekend Open Thread: Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs

It’s all on the line this afternoon.

Good afternoon all you guys, gals and non-binary pals and welcome to the playoffs.

It’s Saturday afternoon on divisional round weekend and that can only mean one thing: time for some Houston Texans football!

I did not change that last paragraph at all from last week, because it’s the Texans so they’re obviously going to get the earliest possible Saturday game in the playoffs.

Today, we reenact the second leg of The Gauntlet where the Texans went into Kansas City to face a looming juggernaut in the Kansas City Chiefs, who are looking to be the first team to win the Super Bowl three years in a row.

The Texans could make history by punching their ticket to their first ever AFC title game in franchise history. Or, they could repeat history by being eliminated in the divisional round. We’ll only know for sure in a few short hours.

Let’s take a look at what you need to do to watch today’s game.
