The AFC gets their opportunity to take the field for the Divisional Round in this one, as the top-seeded New England Patriots will play host to the Houston Texans, who dispatched Oakland last weekend in the Wild Card round.
These two teams met back in Week 3, and it was pretty ugly for the Texans. New England trounced Houston to the tune of 27-0. . .without Tom Brady. The Patriots were actually rolling with their third-string quarterback, rookie Jacoby Brissett, and still made things look easy against a Texans team that looked thoroughly overmatched.
