"The Houston Texans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night and in the process advanced to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. They will visit the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon. When the Texans head to Foxborough they will do so seeking their first Conference Championship Game appearance in franchise history. We obviously know a thing or two about title game droughts around here, but it is territory that Houston has literally never conquered."
"In the early 2010s it felt like there was a slight rivalry developing between the Texans and Dallas Cowboys as they both operate in the state of Texas. That feels like it has cooled a bit, but every now and then you run into someone who takes it a little bit more seriously. For those keeping score... the Texans have now officially passed the Cowboys in direct opportunities to reach the Conference Championship Game since 2002 when they first became an NFL franchise."
The Houston Texans defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers and advanced to the Divisional Round to face the New England Patriots in Foxborough. The Texans will seek their first Conference Championship Game appearance since the franchise began play in 2002. A regional rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys cooled after the early 2010s, but the Texans now hold more Divisional Round appearances than the Cowboys—seven to six. The two Texas teams have never reached the Divisional Round in the same season. Dallas reached the Divisional Round twice after first-round byes; the Texans have always reached it via Wild Card wins, with this season the first time they advanced as a Wild Card.
