Glad we are getting the Philly game as they've got X-Texans DeMeco & Barwin which offers another option even if a vague alternative in cheering for a PO contender with the hapless Texans now entirely out of the post-season chase.

So you're saying there's a chance...

Despite being 2-10 with 10 consecutive losses, the Texans have yet to be eliminated from the AFC’s playoff chase. ...

The Texans’ ridiculous hope for the playoffs: to have at least seven AFC teams finish tied at 6-10 — themselves, plus the Steelers, Ravens, Dolphins, Browns, Jets, Chargers and the winner of a Week 15 game between the Bills and Jaguars. Oakland, Tennessee and the loser of that Buffalo-Jacksonville game could finish 6-10 or 5-11 without propping up another wild-card contender’s record.

Should that happen, the Texans’ could secure the AFC’s second wild-card spot via a tremendously convoluted set of tiebreakers.

To keep their dream alive for another week, Houston needs to beat Jacksonville on Thursday night, then have these results occur on Sunday: Minnesota over Baltimore, New England over Cleveland, Oakland over the Jets, the Giants over San Diego and Pittsburgh over Miami.

Ya, that's the only early game. I wasn't enthused till I saw the other options: Minn @ Balt or Atl @ GB (that one might be OK...).

The Jags are slicing through the Texans defense like a hot knife through butter.

They seem to be able to run on the Texans at will. Jaguars scored more points on their first drive than the Texans scored the entire game against them last time.
