NFL Playoffs 2024: Houston Texans Await Wildcard Conclusion As Homefield Advantage Hinges On AFC Matchups

The wild card round is here! The Houston Texans lock horns with the Cleveland Browns on their home turf at NRG Stadium today. And both teams are leaving no stone unturned to perform to their full potential. However, it seemed the Texans were roaring quite louder in today’s matchup. Despite clinching the victory, there is another powerful reason for this power-packed performance.

The Texans are currently standing at a 45-14 scoreline, which gave them a dominant start over the Browns. Furthermore, the latest news regarding the AFC championship, which might result in the Texans having a home-field advantage, has sparked strong motivation within the team to excel.

The Texans could get home-field advantage!

In a recent X post by NFL insider Joe Schad, he unveiled that the upcoming matchup could be held in Houston next week. The post reads, “The Dolphins would play in Houston next week if they could upset the Chiefs and the Steelers upset the Bills on Monday.”

This news excites the Texans, as they could get the home-field advantage in the upcoming matchup. Moreover, the Miami Dolphins are going to play against the Chiefs today and if Houston can clinch the victory against the Browns, then they would have the privilege of playing on their home turf.

Moreover, the Texans’ back-to-back pick-six showed how fired up they were to get the victory. Last time, the Browns beat the Texans with a 36-22 score in Week 16, but this time the Texans are in a different form.
