Christian Kirk played a pivotal role in the Houston Texans' wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.

Despite posting just 239 yards during the regular season, Kirk hauled in nine receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown versus the Steelers in the wild-card round.

However, Kirk has been quiet so far in Houston's divisional-round game against the New England Patriots.

Is Christian Kirk playing today?

Yes, Kirk is active and playing.

However, he has yet to tally a reception. Houston went three-and-out on their opening drive, with Kirk dropping a third-down pass.

Kirk should get it going soon, especially due to his performance last week.
