    We'll be a tough defense for Maye, but he's got a great OC and some talent around him. This will be a great challenge for us and you know Vrabel will have them ready to play. CJ has to put the PITT game behind him and step up and play like rookie CJ, time to dial it in young man. Excited to watch this game, hope we can win 2nd play-off round in Coach's tenure. Let's GO TEXANS!

    He doesn't even have to play like rookie CJ. All we need him to do is the bare minimum and not turn the ball over for this team to have a high chance at winning Sunday and the rest of the playoffs for that matter.

    Who is young Drake Maye? Is this really a generational defense capable of single-handed ly carrying a team to a Super Bowl? Find out Sunday afternoon.

    Maye Can run the ball, I hope our D is ready.

    it will be a good game if CJ can handle snaps.

    Hopefully the Texans will be able to run the ball.

    Need to eliminate obvious mistakes on offense. CJ flat out has to play better.

    Exorcise the demons tour rolls on. Next stop letterman jacket debacle.

    Can the D sustain such an outstanding performance?

    Can CJ stop fumbling the ball and making crucial mistakes?

    I’ve got faith, LFG!!!

    The D is tailor made to stop Maye, similar to Allen. Their run game is ranked in the 20s, their receiving core is bottom half of the league.
    Rush 4 and take advantage of an injured rookie at LT, spy Maye similar to Allen and let the best secondary in the league lock down a below average group of receivers.
    We’re going to need our D to continue their dominance. If the O can just run the ball and not turn it over it should be a win.
