The first two playoff games of the year were good ones that went down to the wire. As a result, two of next week’s playoff games in the divisional round are set.
In the opening game, the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills went to overtime. Buffalo took a 13-0 halftime lead and a 16-0 second-half lead and the Texans came back. Thanks to an amazing play by quarterback Deshaun Watson to get away from two defenders in overtime to complete a pass down the field.
That set up a game-winning field goal to give the Texans a 22-19 win.
In the later game, the Tennessee Titans held the New England Patriots scoreless in the second half and got 182 rushing yards from Derrick Henry. Tom Brady threw a pick six in the final seconds of the game and the Titans knocked off the defending champs 20-13, despite only getting 72 passing yards from Ryan Tannehill.
So two of the games for next week are set.
The Titans will take on the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens Saturday night on the road at 8:15 p.m. Eastern.
The Texans move on to play the Kansas City Chiefs on the road on Sunday in the early slot at 3:05 pm. Eastern.
