    This is probably the best possible CJ pic that could be posted. Well played sir.

    WK1 - MIA, Bush 69 rushing yards
    WK2 - JAX, Jones-Drew 60 r-yds
    WK3 - DEN, McGahee 36 r-yds
    WK4 - TEN, Johnson 141 r-yds
    WK5 - NYJ, Greene 26 r-yds
    WK6 - GB, Green 65 r-yds
    WK7 - BAL, Rice 42 r-yds
    WK9 - BUF, Spiller 39 r-yds
    WK10 - CHI, Forte 39 r-yds

    Team:
    #1 in rushing TDs allowed (0, next team has allowed 2)
    #3 in rushing yards allowed per game
    #13 in rushing yards allowed per attempt

    Football Outsiders rank (not updated since last week):
    Total Defense #2
    Rushing Defense #7

    I'd suspect both rankings to bump up when they update.

    We've got a lot to be happy about as Thanksgiving approaches!

    Definitely! We got a chance to be in that rare 14, 15 win season that doesn't happen too often. What a win!

    No, just that he is the one guy that had success rushing this season against the Texans, so I thought I would post a pic of him.

    CJ's gone off against the Steelers/Bears/Texans/Dolphins who are #3-6 in rushing yards allowed per game.

    38-14 is an improvement over 41-7. :eek:

    Texans D is legit.

    He didn't have much success. Half of his yds came in garbage time against 2nd and 3rd string defensive players. It counts... but not against the defense that the Texans have out there for the majority of snaps.

    58 yards in the 1st half on 10 carries is successful.
