Tony Gonzalez, 17-year NFL veteran and current CBS Sports NFL analyst, discusses Texans-Patriots and other divisional round matchups.
With their 27-14 loss to the Houston Texans (10-7), Oakland (12-5) saw its season come to an end, a season that could have been so much more were not it for MVP candidate Derek Carr breaking his right fibula in the team's next to last regular season game against Indianapolis.
Before Derek Carr broke his right fibula, the Raiders were a game in front of Kansas City for the AFC West title. Fast-forward a few weeks and it is the Chiefs sitting home and resting this weekend. That rest is something Oakland would have surely loved to have had.
The NFL Playoffs kick off this weekend with some hot teams and heavy favorites taking the field. How will the matchups play out?
It's been 14 seasons since the Oakland Raiders last made it to the NFL playoffs, and this 2016 roster doesn't want to waste the opportunity with a one-and-done appearance.
The AFC playoff field features a mix of familiar faces and fresh blood at quarterback, and this time none of them will have to fret over seeing Von Miller ready to wreck game plans and Super Bowl dreams.
The Oakland Raiders are in the playoffs for the first time since the 2002 season, when they lost Super Bowl XXXVII to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sadly, the Silver & Black won't have their starting quarterback available for the game, and perhaps their backup QB also will be unavailable. However, it may not matter much since the Raiders are playing the Houston Texans, default winner of the AFC South Division.
Tony Gonzalez, 17-year NFL veteran and current CBS Sports NFL analyst, discusses Chiefs-Falcons, Texans-Packers matchups in Week 13.

The Oakland Raiders had a 27-20 victory over the Houston Texans on Monday night in Mexico.
The Oakland Raiders are 7-2 and tied for first place among AFC West Division teams. Now, thanks to the great timing of its bye week, Oakland also is a very healthy football team as it looks to close strong in the final seven games of the NFL regular season. The Raiders haven't made the playoffs since 2002, but if the roster can stay this healthy, the Silver & Black have a great chance to make it back to meaningful January football for the first time in 14 years.

The first game of the NFL's postseason kicks off in Houston on Saturday afternoon, and the host Texans have some injury questions for their game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Back in 2013, the Kansas City Chiefs had the defensive duo of the year. Linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston combined for 22 sacks and terrorized opposing offenses for most of the regular season.
The NFL playoffs are about the stars, usually the quarterbacks. However, in some cases, teams don't have star QBs and they have to rely on other players to make the big moments happen.
Believe it or not, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has one of the highest postseason QB ratings in NFL history.
