The Houston Texans are set to make their ninth all-time NFL playoff appearance after securing the No. 5 seed with Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. With the AFC South going to the Jacksonsville Jaguars, it marks Houston's first ever playoff appearance as a Wild Card team, rather than as the AFC South champion.
As a result, they are set to travel to western Pennsylvania to take on the No. 4 seed Pittsburgh Steelers, who won the AFC North with a 10-7 record thanks to Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop's missed 44-yard field goal as time expired on Sunday Night Football.
