If the Bengals win tonight, the Texans will make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. However, the team they are playing will also have something to say about that. The New York Jets will take the final playoff spot if they beat the Bengals.

In contrast to last week, when the Jets played the Colts backups during the second half, you’ll likely see the Bengals play all their starters tonight. The reason? A win gives Cincinnati the third seed in the playoffs thanks to the Patriots loss to, you guess it, the Houston Texans earlier on Sunday.

If the Bengals win, they host the Texans next week. If the Jets win, we’ll see a Jets-Bengals rematch in Cincinnati next week.
