HOUSTON (AP) – The Houston Texans certainly aren’t dwelling on their 30-0 wild-card playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs as they prepare to face them again Sunday. However, it’s impossible to forget the embarrassing home defeat in January in their first playoff game since 2012.
“When that was our last loss of last season, it’s a tough one,” Houston’s J.J. Watt said. “It’s definitely a little bit on your mind, but I think it’s a new year, new season. We’re really excited about this one.”
Though that game wasn’t very long ago, a lot has changed for the Texans since. The biggest difference is an upgrade at quarterback in Brock Osweiler after Brian Hoyer had five turnovers in the playoff loss. Houston also added running back Lamar Miller and drafted receiver Will Fuller in the first round to add more weapons to an offense featuring DeAndre Hopkins.
“They’re a better football team now than when we played them the last time, and they are healthier,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. “They’ve added some new additions, so I think we’re going up against a better football team.”
This will be the third time these teams have met in just more than a year after they opened the season against each other in 2015. The fact that all three games have been in Houston adds to the oddity.
You can hear the game beginning at Noon Sunday, here on KJAN.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Right-hander Trevor Rosenthal was activated from the 15-day disabled list by the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. He had been sidelined since July 26 with inflammation in his throwing shoulder, that after losing his job as closer in late June.
He is 2-4 with a 5.13 ERA and 14 saves in 18 chances in 40 appearances this season, though manager Mike Matheny had said before the DL stint that he wouldn’t be used in key moments. Rosenthal led the majors with a combined 93 saves the last two seasons. He had a 2.11 ERA in April and May this year, but then gave up 15 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings in June and July.
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have won the NL Central, becoming the first major league team this season to clinch a division title when St. Louis lost 6-2 at San Francisco. The Cubs lost 5-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers earlier Thursday night, but captured their first NL Central crown since 2008 when the Giants finished off their victory over the Cardinals.
Wrigley Field was empty when Matt Adams made the final out on the West Coast, but a loud cheer went up in the neighborhood around the iconic ballpark and several people honked their car horns.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Fist-pumping Johnny Cueto pitched a five-hitter and retired his final 17 batters, and the San Francisco Giants gained ground in the playoff race with a 6-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. The Cardinals’ loss clinched the NL Central title for the Chicago Cubs.
Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer, Cueto (16-5) had a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the fourth and Angel Pagan followed with an RBI single. Denard Span added a two-run single in the seventh for San Francisco.
The Giants gained a game on the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, who are ahead by four after losing at Arizona. San Francisco also moved a game ahead of the Mets in the chase for the top NL wild card and two games up on the Cardinals. St. Louis opened a 10-game road trip, its last of 2016.

The Atlantic Trojans Football team is hoping to get over the hump this week as they travel to take on the Winterset Huskies. The Trojans have suffered two straight close losses to Shenandoah and Denison-Schleswig and hope they can finish this week to get a win. Head Coach Mike McDermott said an emphasis for his team this week has been to find a way to win.
The Trojans will playing a Winterset team that has the same thoughts on their minds as they have come up just short in their last two games as well, including a 17-13 loss to ADM last week. Coach McDermott knows that the Huskies are a tougher challenge than their 0-3 record suggests.
Atlantic mixed up the offense last week against Denison-Schleswig by moving Jaxson Eden up under center and Garrett Franken out on the edge, which resulted in a big passing touchdown. Coach McDermott knows they will have to pick their spots to try to hit the big play against a strong Huskies defense led by Conner Van Pelt and Noah Larson.
Winterset Head Coach Zach Sweeney talked about establishing the run as being a focus for his team with Running Back Brad Benshoof already carrying the ball 56 times for 296 yard and a score for his team this year. Coach Sweeney also talked about setting the down on defense by shutting down Atlantic’s run game.
Both teams will obviously be hungry to get a win after losing close games last week and Coach Sweeney talked about his team needing to improve in some of the intangible categories to get in the win column.
We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and the Huskies on Friday night on KJAN. Catch our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm, followed by the Dvorak Tire and Service Pre-Game Show at 6:30pm, and Kickoff will be at 7:30pm.
