With experience (and a QB), Texans coach Bill O'Brien ready to face ghosts of playoffs past

HOUSTON -- With their third division title over the past four seasons in hand, coach Bill O'Brien heads into his fourth playoff game with the Houston Texans with knowledge gained from postseason experience.

The knowledge of some disappointment after two playoff losses -- 30-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card round to end the 2015 season and a 34-16 loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round to close the 2016 season.

And knowledge of what maybe, just maybe, could be different this time around.
