These are the announcers and referees for the Texans vs Chiefs divisional round matchup today
Andy Reid’s men are fresh after enjoying a week’s rest. Let’s look at who will referee this afternoon’s game at Arrowhead stadium.

After a bye during the Wild Card round, the defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs enter the playoffs against No. 4 seeds the Houston Texans (10-7) in the AFC divisional round.
The Texans beat the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 last week, and make the postseason for the second year running following a three-year absence.
This will be just the third time that the Chiefs and the Texans have met in the playoffs. They faced each other in the Wild Card round in January 2016 - the Chiefs won 30-0, recording their first postseason win since 1993.
Ensuring that the game wuns smoothly will be Florida-born referee Clay Martin. He has a 6-0 record refereeing the Chiefs which has raised concerns with some fans.
The game will be aired live by ESPN so Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be in the booth with sideline reporters Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge pitchside.
