The Texans' 2013 schedule will feature seven games against 2012 playoff teams, four of which will be played in Houston at Reliant Stadium.
After winning the division for the second year in a row, Houston will face the Ravens and the Patriots. The Texans will play at Baltimore while welcoming New England. Houston will face the entire AFC West, and division winner Denver will also play in Houston.
All the AFC division winners are repeat champions, meaning they all played one another this year. Houston went 2-1, beating the Broncos and Ravens while losing to the Patriots.
The Texans face the NFC West, having to travel to division winner San Francisco. Seattle, the other playoff team out of that division, will be a home game. The Seahawks were 8-0 at home this year and just 3-5 on the road.
