NFL Playoff Schedule 2013: Falcons Aiming For First Playoff Win And Texans Want Revenge

Stay connected for news and updates

The second day of the Divisional Round of the 2012 NFL playoffs kicks off with a Falcons team looking for their first win, a quiet Seahawks team that watched RGIII coverage and revenge from a Texans team against an everything-is-business Patriots.

Can Sunday's round of Divisional playoff games even come close to generating the magic from Saturday? Baltimore's comeback with a little help from a disastrous Broncos secondary late in the game, conservative play-calling with a future Hall of Fame quarterback, and two overtimes; the first in the NFL since the Carolina Panthers beat the St. Louis Rams on January 10, 2004. San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick putting together a historic performance against the Green Bay Packers, thrashing them 45-31. It was something else.

Sunday's round kicks off at 1 p.m. (ET) with the Falcons hosting the Seahawks, who beat the Washington Redskins last week 24-14. Yes. The Seattle Seahawks, watching from afar in the far northwest corner of the United States this week, actually who a game with redirected coverage to the controversy of Robert Griffin III's injury. And does Mike Smith join Marvin Lewis as active head coaches without a postseason win in four tries? Meanwhile the Houston Texans, who beat Cincinnati 19-13 last Saturday, look for vengeance after losing 42-14 to the Patriots in Week 14. No one is giving the Texans much of a chance, but then no one gave the Ravens one either.
