Raiders vs. Texans: Score and Twitter Reaction from 2017 NFL Playoffs

The Houston Texans earned their first playoff victory since 2012 with a 27-14 win over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Wild Card Round on Saturday.

Both offenses were under the microscope coming into the game, particularly at quarterback. The Texans were starting Brock Osweiler for the first time since he was benched in Week 15, while the Raiders gave Connor Cook his first NFL start with Matt McGloin suffering a shoulder injury in Week 17.

McGloin was active as the Raiders backup for Saturday's game. Derek Carr, who was an MVP candidate before breaking his fibula in Week 15, was not in Houston for the game.
