I'm glad some of you knew the game was in hand. I didn't have that feeling. Too many painful memories from years gone past of leads that have gone south. I won't mention about the one that happened in that very stadium 17 years ago. Only when Cushing made the interception did I think we won the game. Maybe one day I will have enough courage to believe the game is won before it's over.
Holy crap! Are you kidding me? 8 weeks in, that *has* to be a first. "If the season ended today, the Texans would be in the playoffs." Holy crap. Looking at those standings, the teams right below have already had their bye, and assuming a win for at least one of them moves the Texans back out of the 6 spot. But still, that's way cool. The Texans are currently the 6 seed. Nice!
Well, Houston currently has the tiebreaker against those teams. Baltimore would need a win against a conference opponent that isn't Cincy or Pittsburgh to push the Texans out of the 6th spot. I suspect if the Texans end up tied with an AFC North team for 6th spot, odds are that Houston will win the tiebreaker based on Houston already having 4 conference wins and beating Cincy. The big thing is getting to 10-6.
