Browns vs. Texans: Wild Card Need to Know

will open their quest for the Super Bowl on Saturday when they face the Houston Texans (+2) in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs.

This is a rematch of the Week 16 game that saw the Browns steamroll the Texans but with one major difference. Last time, the Texans had to play Case Keenum and Davis Mills at quarterback with starter C.J. Stroud in the concussion protocol. On Saturday, Stroud will be back under center and that could present some problems for the Browns.

Of course, Stroud hasn’t faced a defense like the one the Browns will put on the field, and if anyone has an edge it would be a veteran defense against a rookie quarterback.
