We knew going into this game that it was ‘Us vs. Everybody,‘“ said Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans after the contest. “And when I say everybody — it’s everybody.”

After their loss to the Chiefs on Saturday, the Texans—one of two 10–7 teams to make the divisional round—are locked in at the No. 25 pick in the 2025 draft. Even if the Los Angeles Rams (10–7) lose to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Houston will remain at No. 25 because they have a lower strength of schedule (.481) than the Rams (.505).

Kris Boyd had a rough start to Saturday's 23-14 AFC divisional round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Boyd, the Texans cornerback, shoved special teams coach Frank Ross after being penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct during the opening kickoff of Saturday's game.
