The the regular season comes to a close, the NFL announced the official schedule for Super Wild Card Weekend, revealing when the Browns and Texans will kickoff
The scene is ready.
Super Wild Card Weekend schedule was released by the NFL as Week 18 draws to a close with Sunday Night Football between the Bills and Dolphins.
The Cleveland Browns will kick off the first round of the playoffs on the road in Houston on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. The NBA and Peacock will both air the game.
The Browns concluded the season with an 11-6 record and, in Week 17, secured the No. 5 spot in the AFC, making their Week 18 game against the Bengals almost meaningless. Despite being one game worse than the Browns (10–7), the Texans are the team that will host the game because they were crowned the AFC South Champions.
Given that the Browns just played in Houston and prevailed 36–22, their trip there is somewhat familiar to them. Even though they were without several key players, such as starting quarterback and eventual Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate C.J. Stroud, who is now back in the fold, the Texans were very different back then.
Following the conclusion of the Browns and Texans game, the No. 3 seed, Chiefs hosting one of the No. 6 Steelers, Miami, or Buffalo, will play in Saturday’s Wild Card doubleheader, contingent on the outcome of Sunday Night Football. To set up an opening round slugfest between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, the game would have to result in a tie. In contrast, the Dolphins would travel to Kansas City if the Bills won.
