The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs is the season's best pure weekend of football. How do these stellar matchups shape up?
Tony Gonzalez, 17-year NFL veteran and current CBS Sports NFL analyst, discusses Texans-Patriots and other divisional round matchups.
With their 27-14 loss to the Houston Texans (10-7), Oakland (12-5) saw its season come to an end, a season that could have been so much more were not it for MVP candidate Derek Carr breaking his right fibula in the team's next to last regular season game against Indianapolis.
Before Derek Carr broke his right fibula, the Raiders were a game in front of Kansas City for the AFC West title. Fast-forward a few weeks and it is the Chiefs sitting home and resting this weekend. That rest is something Oakland would have surely loved to have had.
The NFL Playoffs kick off this weekend with some hot teams and heavy favorites taking the field. How will the matchups play out?
It's been 14 seasons since the Oakland Raiders last made it to the NFL playoffs, and this 2016 roster doesn't want to waste the opportunity with a one-and-done appearance.
The AFC playoff field features a mix of familiar faces and fresh blood at quarterback, and this time none of them will have to fret over seeing Von Miller ready to wreck game plans and Super Bowl dreams.
The Oakland Raiders are in the playoffs for the first time since the 2002 season, when they lost Super Bowl XXXVII to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sadly, the Silver & Black won't have their starting quarterback available for the game, and perhaps their backup QB also will be unavailable. However, it may not matter much since the Raiders are playing the Houston Texans, default winner of the AFC South Division.
Tony Gonzalez, 17-year NFL veteran and current CBS Sports NFL analyst, discusses Chiefs-Falcons, Texans-Packers matchups in Week 13.
With the win, Oakland (8-2) stands a full game in front of both Kansas City (7-3) and Denver (7-3) in the AFC West.
The Oakland Raiders had a 27-20 victory over the Houston Texans on Monday night in Mexico.
The Oakland Raiders are 7-2 and tied for first place among AFC West Division teams. Now, thanks to the great timing of its bye week, Oakland also is a very healthy football team as it looks to close strong in the final seven games of the NFL regular season. The Raiders haven't made the playoffs since 2002, but if the roster can stay this healthy, the Silver & Black have a great chance to make it back to meaningful January football for the first time in 14 years.
The Oakland Raiders will "host" the Houston Texans in Mexico's capital on Monday Night Football fresh off their bye week.
J.J. Watt, the NFL's best defensive player, had back surgery yesterday. It's unclear if he can return to form, or return at all.
Trent Green, CBS Sports analyst and longtime NFL QB, looks at Week 3 games, including a big Texans-Pats matchup on Thursday Night Football.
Undefeated New England Patriots face an undefeated Houston Texans team looking to tee off on a quarterback who isn't Tom Brady.
Texans' J.J. Watt is one of the NFL's best and best paid defensive players. But it's rare that defense-first teams win Super Bowls.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell pledged Friday "to do everything possible" to help teams in Oakland and San Diego work to get new stadiums in their current markets.
The NFL is planning to play a regular-season game in Mexico City this year, a person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press.
Four first-half turnovers by quarterback Brian Hoyer didn't entirely bury the Houston Texans in their playoff home game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it certainly didn't help, either.
There was no way the Kansas City Chiefs were going to blow a 20-point second-half lead in the playoffs again, and they didn't disappoint.
The first game of the NFL's postseason kicks off in Houston on Saturday afternoon, and the host Texans have some injury questions for their game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Back in 2013, the Kansas City Chiefs had the defensive duo of the year. Linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston combined for 22 sacks and terrorized opposing offenses for most of the regular season.
The NFL playoffs are about the stars, usually the quarterbacks. However, in some cases, teams don't have star QBs and they have to rely on other players to make the big moments happen.
Believe it or not, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has one of the highest postseason QB ratings in NFL history.
