The victory was a major upset, as the Browns were favored by 7.5 points. It also marked the first time that the Texans had defeated the Browns in a playoff game.

With the win, the Texans advance to the Divisional Round, where they will face the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs. The game will be played on Sunday, January 12th at Arrowhead Stadium.
