The Houston Texans are faced with a task this week only three teams have completed: defeating Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the NFL playoffs. Fifteen teams have tried and failed, including the 2019 Texans under coach Bill O’Brien.

Despite being constantly counted out during the week leading up to the Wild Card round, the Houston Texans put on a clinic in front of their home fans to knock off the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 and advance to the Divisional Round.

The Houston Texans are facing perhaps the most daunting task of the NFL’s divisional playoff round as they go to Kansas City to face the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs Saturday.

Sure, a David-versus-Goliath level of matchup may have to wait until the conference title game or Super Bowl. With that said, Saturday's meeting between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans still brings plenty of intrigue thanks to both teams' strengths.

Veteran linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has been among the Houston Texans’ most productive defenders this season but was listed on the team’s injury report ahead of its divisional-round playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Will Al-Shaair be able to play against the Chiefs on Saturday?
