Vince Wilfork on Texans' turnaround: 'I'm not surprised'
As the Houston Texans get set for Saturday's playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs, veteran nose tackle Vince Wilfork is back in familiar territory.
Wilfork, who joined the Texans in March, made in the postseason nine of his 11 seasons with the New England Patriots, including two Super Bowl victories. His 21 games of playoff experience is tops among Houston players.
After a difficult start to the season, the Texans rebounded to claim the AFC South title and their first trip to playoffs since 2012. It's something Wilfork said he expected all along.
Wilfork said Satrurday's game validates his decision to sign with Houston after being released by the Patriots in salary cap move last March.
While Wilfork and the Texans are focused on the Chiefs, with a win Saturday, there's a chance Houston could next face Wilfork's former team in the Divisional Round, depending on seeding.
