    Gross.

    I understand, at least conceptually, but still gross.

    Not my proudest moment, not at all.

    eta: if it makes you feel any better, I'm also rooting for the Titans today (draft pick reasons)

    Cowboys suck and have nothing to play for.

    Most likely the Texans will have to take care of the Chargers ourselves

    There defense has no pass rushers and they can’t cover for the life of them. It’s been nasty to watch.

    The Cowboys didn't get your memo

    I understand moving ahead of Chargers & Bills in the wild card standings if they lose today. However, I’m also wondering about tie-breakers, specifically if “strength of victory” might have scenarios where we would prefer the Chargers and Bills winning……especially if The Jags lose in Denver today, and the Texans take control of the division. https://www.playoffstatus.com/nfl/afc-tiebreakers.html

    So, I'm assuming the Texans crush LV today...including at least one defensive TD. CJ gets to rest with a nice lead...Mills and the defense pile on.

    Texans 31 or 41 to 7. Which is it?
    That IS the question, eh ..

    41-7

    If that dude doesn't come out to start the 2nd half you *know* it's serious. He's a tough SOB

    Hopefully, but remember, these are the Texans, a sad-sack franchise that has managed to turn the most promising situations into disasters. Please, not today.

    I expect that he will, but I don't think that's a great idea for them. The Browns are a complete joke of a franchise, they can beat them without Allen, but if the ankle injury gets worse and he misses next week, or isn't productive due to injury, they lose to the Eagles.

    No idea who their backup is, but a 10-point lead at the half isn't exactly comfortable, even if you're playing the Browns. I get your point though.

    I don't think that matters especially with Jags ending the year playing the Titans.

    Josh Allen cleared to return. He is literally iron man

    Most likely not, but one thing I’m watching is New England. If Baltimore at home beats New England tonight, it creates a scenario where The Texans would only be 1 game behind New England. If the Texans win out, they would be 1 additional NE loss away from tying NE and possibly grabbing the 2-seed. Of course, NE finishes with Jets and Dolphins though

    Meh, it's the Browns with Shedeur Sanders at QB, giving up more than 1 TD to them pretty much means you aren't an NFL defense.
