The NFL Playoffs are officially underway, and Brock Osweiler has his first career playoff victory. The Texans are advancing to the divisional round for the third time in franchise history, but must wait out Sunday’s action before they know their opponent.

The Texans were the smallest favorite of Wild Card Weekend, but shut down Connor Cook and the Raiders in a 27-14 victory. Things will be much tougher next week, as the Texans will be headed east for a game against New England.

In the NFC, the Packers continued their hot streak by dismantling the Giants. Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns to Randall Cobb, but now must go on the road to face the Cowboys.

Here’s how the bracket looks after Sunday:
