What's next for the Texans? Houston waits to find out who and where it plays next weekend

After beating the Colts 23 19, the for the first time in four years. Depending on what happens on the final day of the regular season, the Texans could be as high as the No. 4 seed in the AFC and host a playoff game next week, or they could be as low as the No. 7 seed. "Everybody's fighting till that last play.

That's what it's about," coach DeMeco Ryans said as the Texans shouted and danced after earning their first playoff berth since 2019."We punched our ticket." Now, the waiting begins. Houston (10 7) either will be one of the AFC's three wild card teams or host a wild card weekend game as the if Jacksonville loses at Tennessee.

Indianapolis (9 8) was eliminated from the playoff chase with its third loss in five weeks. It hasn't made the postseason since 2020. Reaching the postseason sure hasn't been easy for Houston with a new head coach, a new quarterback, a short handed receiving corps and needing a win at a venue where the Texans had only won four times in the previous 20 seasons.

Still, Houston finished the job Saturday with a strong performance and a little help from Indy. The Texans will wait to see if Jacksonville wins or loses before finding out who and where it plays next weekend. Join Greg Baily and Spencer Tillman for a deep dive into the game.
