Announcers revealed for Texans vs. Chiefs AFC Divisional Round matchup

The Houston Texans travel to Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday afternoon for a winner-take-all showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. CT on ESPN and ABC.  Joe Buck (play-by-play) and Troy Aikman (analyst) will serve as the crew in the booth. On the field, Lisa Salter (field reporter) and Laura Rutledge will conduct interviews and provide injury updates from the sidelines.

The Texans aim to finally secure a win in the divisional round after five appearances since 2011. Last season, Houston kept things close in the first half on the road at M&T Bank Stadium before the Baltimore Ravens pulled away in the final 30 minutes.

Most fans remember the last time the Texans played at Arrowhead in a postseason game. After scoring 24 unanswered points in the first quarter, Kansas City rallied back to score 28 in the second.

The Chiefs surpassed Houston en route to a 51-31 victory and eventual Super Bowl title.

With a win, the Texans would travel one more time to either Buffalo or Baltimore. The Ravens face off against the Bills in Orchard Park on Sunday night in what could decide the MVP race between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
