UNDATED (AP) — Two more NFL divisional-round playoff games are on tap today (Sunday). First, the Houston Texans visit the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of a Week 6 game won by the Texans. (Pre-game 1-p.m. on KJAN. Kick-off at 2:05-p.m.)

Houston is trying to reach the AFC championship game for the first time. The Chiefs are trying to make it back a year after falling to the Patriots in overtime. The Chiefs selected quarterback Patrick Mahomes over Deshaun Watson in the NFL draft a couple of years ago. Two picks later, the Texans made Watson their quarterback.

In the second game, the Seattle Seahawks look to cure their road woes at Lambeau Field when they travel to Green Bay. It will be the sixth consecutive season these two teams have played each other either in the regular season and or the postseason. Each team has won three contests at home. Seattle quarterback Russell Williams is 0-3 as a starter at Lambeau Field.

This will be the first playoff game in three years for Green Bay’s 36-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who won his first Super Bowl nearly a decade ago.
