Houston will be sitting seven total players against Cincinnati, including three offensive lineman:

The Wild Card round is a bit of a surprise for the Texans, who seemed to have the top overall seed in the AFC playoffs locked up over a month ago. Three losses in four games down the stretch not only knocked Houston out of contention for home-field advantage, but a first-round bye as well. The team will try to rebound against a Bengals squad that has been hot down the stretch.

Cincinnati won their last three games to ensure a playoff berth and nearly grab the AFC North title away from the Baltimore Ravens. The three-game winning streak was part of seven wins in the Bengals' last eight games.
