The improvement of Bernardrick McKinney is one of the most underrated storylines of this season. Between him, Clowney coming into his own, Mercilus playing like a first round pick, and the emergence of Andre Hal/Quinton Demps at the safety position, this defense is firing on all cylinders.
I don't think this is a fair assessment. Reid has lead a team to the Super Bowl and has been to the Championship game on multiple occasions. He has never won it all, but he is not a one and done guy either.
two of the hottest teams in the AFC. everybody else is looking shaky going into the playoffs. beat the chiefs and its basically a couple scrimmages to the superbowl. mine as well go full wildcat for the hell of it

I'd be stunned if Houston doesnt play. He practiced last Friday and was fine, but they kept him out of the game on Sunday anyways. I'll be all for him sitting out the game though. :grin:
If clowney is ready for the playoffs he needs to play another position cause Whitney has his best games when clowney is out and i think the defense is just better as far as getting to the QB
No chance. Clowney is the much more dangerous player in that he seals the edge and commands double teams. With Clowney and Watt on the field together, Mercilus is going to see a lot of favorable matchups (not like he'd ever see a double team anyway) so if he can exploit them and get to the QB, it'll greatly help the team.
This is either going to be a nail biter, low scoring, Texans win or a Chiefs blowout. Hoping for the former. Let's go Texans!
We had Rahim Moore starting for us at safety then. Are defense has improved tremendously. They also had Jamaal Charles as well. Hopefully Andre Hal will be able to slow Kelce a bit.
It has been awhile since KC has played a decent team. The combined record of their last 7 opponents is 38 Wins and 74 Losses.
Our current defense at home minus Charles. We have a decent chance and that's saying something when you consider the start of our season.
Another thing is that our rookie CB has a lot more experience now than when we first faced the Chiefs, so that could be a factor as well.
I defense is stronger than it was in Week 1 I think the Chiefs will see that I only worry about our Offense Can we SCORE ENough I can see us winning a game with the score between 10-17 Texans 16 Chiefs 10 Rocket River
Gonna be a tough game. Chiefs already handled us and were missing a couple of key players that have returned. Now we're without Brown. Surprised the line is only 3.5 points. Only advantage we have since then is our players knowing the system better.
The game plan should be the same as the Yates game ( think it was the Jets), throw the kitchen sink at them. I never seen a Texans offensive scheme that was so money, it was awesome to watch.
