The Houston Texans hit the road for their Wild Card Round clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It's the last game of the three-day slate of NFL playoff opening round action, and the winner will head to New England to take on the Patriots in the Divisional Round.
The Texans' calling card is their defense, which they hope will give Aaron Rodgers fits.
But they'll also need the offense to make plays in key moments.
The wide receiver that QB C.J. Stroud wants to count on most of all is Nico Collins, who didn't play in Week 18.

Is Nico Collins playing tonight?
Yes, Nico Collins is healthy and set to be active on Monday night for the Texans against the Steelers.
Collins was a healthy scratch in Week 18. He didn't sit because of injury.
Houston sat Collins specifically so he would for sure be available for the playoff opener.
Now that it's here, Collins should be particularly fresh and ready to go.

This season, Collins had 71 catches for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns.
He's joined in a talented WR group by Jayden Higgins, Christian Kirk, Jaylin Noel and TE Dalton Schultz.
Together, they have enough firepower to get past the Steelers and keep the season alive.
