The Baltimore Ravens finally know just which team they will meet in the AFC divisional round.

Thanks to the Buffalo Bills’ 31-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC wild-card round, the Ravens will host the Houston Texans in the first matchup of this season’s divisional round. The two division winners are set to square off on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. E.T.

ESPN and ABC will broadcast this upcoming playoff clash between Baltimore and Houston.

The Ravens and the Texans last met in Week 1, when Baltimore’s defense led the way in a convincing 25-9 victory. The unit did not allow a single red zone touchdown drive to the C.J. Stroud-led Texans offense in the contest.

The Ravens have already been watching film on the Texans. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh noted during a press conference on Monday that he has been "dialed in on Houston" ever since the reigning AFC South champions came away with a 45-14 home win over the Cleveland Browns in the AFC wild-card round.

The Ravens will hold their first practice session of the week on Tuesday.

Baltimore is looking to clinch a spot in the AFC title game for the first time since the 2012 season.
