up to you, your list.
Another first - or maybe this is a team firsts, rather than player firsts list?
8. Arian Foster first RB to gain over 100 yards in each of first three playoff games.

I was thinking more in terms of "team/franchise firsts in 2012" but yeah, the list could use some re-organizing.... Let's try this:
-------------------------------------------------------
Team firsts accomplished in 2012:
1. 5-0 start and then going to 11-1.
2. First "W" over the NY Jets.
3. First "W" over Baltimore.
4. Prime time win on the road (NY Jets).
5. Sitting atop the power rankings for a number of weeks.
6. First time in the Thanksgiving game and first "W" in that game.
7. First time back to back OT wins (or the very rare: having a QB that threw an INT in OT and still won the game).
8. 12 regular season wins, new team high.
Team firsts that had an opportunity to accomplish but failed:
1. Beat Minnesota for the first time (lost).
2. Sweep the division (5-1).
3. Beat the Colts in their house (lost).
4. Get the #1 seed for the 1st time in Houston pro footbal history. (nope)
Still left to do:
1. Win more than one playoff game in a season
2. Win a playoff game on the road.
