The Houston Texans will face the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC wild-card game at NRG Stadium, a matchup that CBS analyst Charles Davis considers exciting despite its low-profile slot on the playoff calendar. Davis reflects on his experience calling two Texans games this season, noting the team's struggles following a strong start. Injuries to key players like Joe Mixon and Nico Collins have impacted the Texans, but Davis emphasizes their resilience in winning the division title.
As the Texans prepare for the Chargers, Davis points out the importance of momentum in the playoffs, suggesting that confidence can carry over from the regular season. He identifies defensive tackle Denico Autry and receiver Diontae Johnson as potential X-factors for the Texans. Meanwhile, the Chargers come off a three-game winning streak, presenting a formidable challenge for Houston.
