The Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans face off in the opening game of this year’s NFL playoffs. The surprising (due to last year’s performance and the youth of the team) AFC South champions versus the surprising (due to injury after injury after injury) top Wild Card team in the AFC with a better record.
The Browns and Texans will be linked for a while unrelated to this game. The trade of QB Deshaun Watson from Houston to Cleveland would have been a huge story if Watson was healthy for Saturday’s game.
