I think it's going to have to be CJ to play a great game against the Chiefs. Mixon hasn't done well rushing against good rush defenses. If he isn't playing hopefully our other running backs can do something, but CJ needs to play well. I'm hoping our secondary puts on another stellar performance, especially with Mahomes and his bum ankle. Mixon should do well against the Ravens though, but our defense needs to be able to contain Henry, and put more pressure on Jackson. CJ should have a really big game against their piss poor pass defense, but it could come down to the battle of running backs, and who can convert on short yardage, as well as score touchdowns from the red zone.

Texans in the playoffs seems like a pretty "done deal" to me. Weird anyone would question us on thinking that a whole week ago.
Boomer Esiason has always been a friend to the Texans' cause but somewhere along the lines became jaded. Heard him give the most asinine take on his show: " The league has to step up and do something. Take away the home games from these awful divisions." This after recapping our game vs Miami. We didn't ask for this life. I wanted a division that made sense: Texans, Cowboys, Titans, Dolphins. Patriots should give back all their SBs for playing in a division that never had an average qb for 18 years,
" They're fairly young. I don't think those guys understand how hard it is to win, win a game let alone a superbowl." Dre on the fork in the road down on Kirby.
