MATCH PREVIEW

The Houston Texans and rookie QB C.J Stroud plays host to the resurgent Joe Flacco and his Cleveland Browns to kick off the NFL’s wild card weekend.

Stroud, along with pass rusher and fellow first round rookie Will Anderson Jr. have been outstanding in their debut season, helping turn around the franchise from a 3-13-1 team last season to one that finished this season with a 10-7 mark.

Flacco, the 38-year-old QB of the Browns, was sitting on the couch as a free agent for the first half of the season before receiving a lifeline from Cleveland due to a season ending injury for Deshaun Watson.
