    NE has a bunch of no namers who play really well on Defense. Vrabel and Maye will make you pay for bad TOs

    A bad game? He's had 4 touchdowns, 3 interceptions and 5 fumbles in the past 3 games. Mills had 3 touchdowns and no interceptions in his 3 wins when CJ was hurt. Turnovers matter when your defense is doing all they can do to save the game.

    This is gonna be a pick em tom... The Texans defense closes off a home field advantage. Odds makers will move this line.

    It appears the Texans offense had 414 yds total offense tonight. For all his difficulties, CJ was 21/32 for 250 yds and a TD. Sure they didn't make it look easy but to say they "didn't do scheiss" is kinda ridiculous. The offense has not been a juggernaut this year but they have done what matters to help win the game(s). The takes on CJ are a bit too excessive as he made clutch after clutch 3rd down plays in this game. He needs to get his head in the game and get better of course. He is still a dynamic enough playmaker to make those crucial plays as needed.

    I'm a CJ defender, but you can't deny he was ass for 80% of the game. All three turnovers were, WTF are you even doing, bad. He couldn't hold onto a snap, he had happy feet, and the ball was sailing on him. He's been clutch in previous playoff games. Hopefully he got it out of his system in a game the defense could have won single-handedly.

    What he did tonight loses 95% of games 99% of playoff game (don’t fact check). We should forfeit our offensive possessions next week and only roll out the defense.

    Maye hasn’t seen anything like this defense. Nothing close.

    That wasn't a bad day at work. That was some major *** up that almost potentially lost company money.

    Luckily, CJ's coworkers came in to save the day.

    That’s the best part, maybe the worst game we’ve seen out of CJ and we still won by 24. Just imagine if he plays average next game,

    CJ made the right reads all game long. He just fumbled the ball instead of taking the sack. These are easy things to fix

    I’ll give you this: The running game had success against a good Steelers DEF, but the turnovers were abysmal. Texans won for one reason only
