Texans vs. Bengals Live Updates: NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round Game 1

Texans vs. Bengals Live Updates

NFL Wild Card weekend kicks off on Saturday with a showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans. When these two squads faced off in week 14, rookie quarterback T.J. Yates led the Texans to an 80-yard game-winning drive -- capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass -- with less than two minutes to go to send Houston into the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

The problem is Houston hasn't won since that game. Now, they have to beat the Bengals again. And this time, the Texans are the hosts.

The Bengals backed into the playoffs despite losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the season finale. Led by rookies Andy Dalton and A.J. Green, Cincinnati won nine games while playing in arguably the toughest division in the NFL and reached the postseason for the first time since 2005.

Will Cincinnati be able to stop Houston's No. 2 ranked rushing offense and advance to the Divisional Round? Or will Yates and the Texans pull off their first postseason win ever?

Stay tuned here for live updates throughout the game and tweet to @HuffPostSports to join in the conversation.
