The Texans, led by Devin Singletary, are poised for a rematch against the Browns in the opening round of the AFC playoffs, eager to seize another opportunity to showcase their prowess.

A mere year ago, the Texans languished as the weakest link in the AFC South. Fast forward to this Sunday, and the narrative drastically shifted as they triumphantly emerged as AFC South champions.

With an impressive 10-7 record, the Texans clinched the divisional title following Jacksonville's loss to Tennessee, marking the franchise's seventh divisional triumph.

Earning the coveted No. 4 seed, the Texans have earned the right to host a high-stakes playoff clash at the illustrious NRG Stadium. Their opponent? The No. 5 seed, Cleveland Browns, in a highly anticipated rematch from their Week 16 showdown. Stay tuned for the official announcement of the date and time for this gripping encounter.

"We didn’t embark on this journey just to reach this point," asserted coach DeMeco Ryans. "Our team yearned for this opportunity, and they exhibited unwavering determination to turn this aspiration into reality. It was an arduous path."

For the first time since the thrilling 2019 playoffs, Houston will reverberate with playoff fervor. In that unforgettable 2019 postseason, the Texans clinched a heart-stopping victory over the Buffalo Bills in overtime during the electrifying first round of playoffs. Now, with anticipation soaring, the Texans aim to etch another indelible playoff memory into the annals of their storied franchise.
