Injuries too much to overcome as Texans beat Raiders 27-14 (Yahoo Sports)

Oakland's first trip to the playoffs in 14 seasons was short-circuited in great part because of injuries that wrecked its once-prolific offense. Rookie third-string quarterback Connor Cook was no match for the Houston Texans in a 27-14 loss in a wild-card playoff game Saturday. ''We got off to such a great start, winning 12 games isn't easy to do,'' coach Jack Del Rio said.
