NFL Playoffs: Deshaun Watson Sets Up Game-Winning OT Field Goal For Texans; Titans End Pats Reign In Foxborough

The National Football League's 2019-20 Playoffs opened on Saturday with two first-round games, both in the American Football Conference.

At Houston:

Quarterback Deshaun Watson avoided what looked like a certain sack to complete a pass in overtime that set up Ka'imi Fairburn's game-winning field goal from 28 yards out with 3:20 remaining in the fifth quarter as the Houston Texans, who once trailed 16-0 in the third quarter, stormed back to upend the visiting Buffalo Bills 22-19 in their opening-round playoff game.

At Foxborough, Massachusetts:

Running back Derrick Henry carried the ball 34 times for a franchise-playoff-record 182 yards while Logan Ryan ran back an intercepted Tom Brady pass nine yards for another score as the Tennessee Titans knocked off the defending Super Bowl champions New England Patriots 20-13 on the road in their opening-round playoff contest.



Here's the line-up for the AFC's divisional playoff round, set for next weekend, with both games televised by CBS:

Saturday, January 11:

At Baltimore:

Tennessee Titans @ Baltimore Ravens, 5:15 PM Pacific Time

Sunday, January 12:

Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs, 12:05 PM Pacific Time
