The Texans would land in the No. 5 seed with a win over the Colts and a Jaguars win over the Titans, or a loss, a Bills loss to the Jets, and a Chargers loss to the Broncos.<\/p>\n
If one of those scenarios plays out, the Texans would make their second trip to M&T Bank Stadium this season after crushing an injury-ravaged Ravens team, 44-10, in Week 5. Baltimore was without several of its top stars in that loss, including Lamar Jackson, Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey, Roquan Smith, and Ronnie Stanley.<\/p>\n
Houston can still win the AFC South and avoid a road game in the first round if it defeats the Colts and the Jaguars lose to the Titans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texans would land in the No. 5 seed with a win over the Colts and a Jaguars…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[184333,184334,257,2593,17263,34879,349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-385822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-2025-week-18","9":"tag-2025-week-18-news","10":"tag-general","11":"tag-homepage-latest-headlines","12":"tag-inline-news","13":"tag-justin-robertson","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
