If the Titans win, they are in. Houston would need the Chiefs to lose to move up to the No. 3 seed, which might mean seeing the Titans the very next week. Or, it could mean seeing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Either way, a win means they go to New England for the divisional round and avoid Baltimore.

Why should the Texans care

They really shouldn’t. Houston should rest up and get ready for the Buffalo Bills.
