Made me think, on a related note, I went back to look at those late 90s Broncos (with Kubiak as OC) as a comparison, and found a familiar trend...

1996: Broncos at 12-1 finished 1-2. (lost divisonal round at home to JAX)
1997: Broncos at 11-2 finished 1-3. (won Super Bowl over GB)
1998: Broncos at 13-1 finished 1-2. (won Super Bowl over ATL)
2012: Texans at 11-1 are 1-2 in last 3 games.

Like the 2012 Texans, these Bronco teams jumped out to big winning records by early December, then let up on the gas.

What Kubiak has brought to Houston in other ways has been very comparable to those Bronco teams; this seems no different.
