Well, there is something going on:

Exhibit A: Week 14 @ Indianapolis - Andrew Luck and the Colts are driving for a go ahead score. In the red zone. Clowney strips sacks Luck, the Texans recover and it changes the whole complexion of the game. Texans go on to win 22-17.

Exhibit B: Week 15 @ NRG - Oz gets benched after throwing 2 picks. Texans are losing 13-0. Savage comes in with 8:32 left in the 2nd qtr and leads the Texans to a come from behind 21-20 win. Had the change occurred at halftime or later, the Texans might not have won....

Exhibit C: Week 16 @ NRG - After nerfing the offense for two quarters, OB lets it loose a bit and the Texans score a few points. The Bengals put together a heroic end of game drive only to miss the game winning 43-yard FG as time expires. Game was way closer than it had to be.

Any of the above could've easily gone the other way. Flirting with disaster (Molly Hatchet?). Yet, they're still kicking. Not sure they can keep doing this.... One would think it'll bite them in the butt eventually....

The only Kool-Aid I have left is with Tom Savage. It's still early in his "debut" and we don't know yet if he can be The One.....

So, it looks like the Texans will probably play Oakland or KC at home in the first round of the playoffs. Sure would like to see them silence some of the critics (lookin' at you, Rodney Harrison) and win a round or two....
