The second game of the Christmas Day doubleheader features a rematch of last season’s AFC Divisional Round and a potential playoff preview between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans. The Ravens scored a huge win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 to move into a tie atop the AFC North.

Wide receiver Nelson Agholor and cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis are the other two players. Agholor came down hard after making a leaping 26-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. He came off the field after the play but did return for one more snap later on the same drive.
