Houston could have faced the Kansas City Chiefs had the Steelers claimed victory over Buffalo.

No. 4 Houston is the lowest remaining seed in the AFC after it defeated the No. 5 seed, Cleveland Browns, in a 45-14 blowout at NRG Stadium.

No. 2 Bills will host the No. 3-seed Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday evening.

Baltimore marks Houston's second consecutive rematch of an opponent from the regular season. Rookie QB CJ Stroud jumpstarted his NFL career against the Ravens in Week 1 on Sept. 10, 2023.



Stroud was the leading passer in that contest despite the 25-9 loss to MVP candidate Lamar Jackson.

Baltimore had a bye in the wild-card round as the conference's top seed. The Ravens last played in a game on Jan. 6, but Jackson was a healthy scratch for that contest.
