    Whatever happens here, the Texans offense has showed me something with this late drive. Get the ball with over 13 minutes left and cram it down the Chiefs throats for over 8 minutes. They've never done before. Great job!

    You're right. Someone mentioned this earlier, but this is where Dayne is so valuable. They can punish teams. They will probably get beat by the Colts, but I look forward to seeing what they can do to them with this kind of running game.

    Would love to see Mario tee off here in the last 5 mins and get that 3rd sack to secure DPOW honors.

    Mario with a touchdown. Travis Johnson with an interception. Is this bizarro land?

    Travis Johnson was another piece of crap that has stepped it up.

    I wanted Derrick Johnson, and was pissed when Travis Johnson did nothing for the last two years.

    He finally showed some life.

    Well you should know, since your watching, it was a 10+ minute drive.

    I don't want to get too encouraged with this win, because it was the chiefs. But I'm certainly going to enjoy it. Not only did the offense execute... We got a freakn defense in Houston again. How many years has it been since we've been able to say that!?!?!?

    Next week we are in Carolina. That's going to be a great test for this team.

    I've never really understood the Travis Johnsn hate. He was played out of position as a 3-4 end his rookie year, then was hurt all of last year. I think he'll shine back in his natural position.

    the hate was that he sucked.


    yeah, i don't think a nose tackle trying to hold up two guys worked for him.

    This team just soundly whooped the ass of an AFC playoff team.

    I'm pretty damned happy right now.

    The Chiefs are in trouble this season. Huard was no All-Star before, but the guy is now a disaster and their backup isn't close to being ready. Too bad for Chiefs fans. The only way they can succeed this year is to run Larry Johnson 30 times.

    The Texans weren't spectacular but they got the job done against a team with a bad offense. Our defense must get better if 9-7 is to be achievable. If you toss out the INT in the end zone, Schaub did the job. There were so many times he was under pressure and made good throws anyway, which David Carr was incapable of.
