Raiders-Texans AFC Wild Card Game Scheduled for Saturday

The Raiders were hoping to have Wild Card Weekend off. Instead, they have to travel to Houston and will play in the first game on Saturday.

The NFL announced Sunday evening that the Raiders and Texans will kick off at 1:35 pm PT in Houston on Saturday, January 7, 2017.

The Raiders had a chance to clinch a first-round bye with a win or a Kansas City loss Sunday, but Oakland lost to Denver and the Chiefs beat the Chargers, giving the division and the bye to the Chiefs.

The game will be a rematch of the Week 11 game that took place in Mexico City. The Raiders won that matchup 27-20.

Saturday, January 7

AFC:    4:35 PM (ET) Oakland at Houston
    
NFC:    8:15 PM (ET) Detroit at Seattle

Sunday, January 8 

AFC:    1:05 PM (ET) Miami at Pittsburgh
