They will take on the Houston Texans and will surely be favorited heading into the game. The excellent hiring of Andy Reid just a couple of years ago has set up Kansas City to make a strong playoff run not just for this year, but several years to come.</p>

A dominant defender for the Tide this year, Ragland helped set the tone and prove why Alabama belonged in last weeks playoff win versus Michigan State.</p>
<p>A very smart player, Ragland is a sure tackler and will also get to the quarterback when needed. While he is not known for his range or ability to defend the pass, the Chiefs strong secondary can help pick up the slack while Ragland gets adjusted to the league.</p>
