Right?

This season ended up to be far more entertaining and successful than anyone could have hoped for after the embarrassing loss in the home opener to KC.
OK maybe it is the AFC South which is at least one of the two worst divisions in the NFL. So what did O'Brien and his Texans do ? They took full advantage of that situation, won the division and today they are playing a game in the 2015-16 NFL playoffs. Way to go coach !
A rematch with the Chiefs and for the second time on our home turf, so can we win this one ? I sure hope so, but I don't think we will, and I think the AFC this year is up for grabs and give the Chiefs a real chance to go all the way to the SB.
Chiefs 17, Texans 10.

I genuinely think the Texans will win. And if the Bengals win and we get Denver next round, I think we win again.

Of course my mythical run to the AFC title game can be derailed by a 7-0 deficit. I think this is a first team to 10 points wins kind of game.

Texans in all blue, Chiefs in all white.

-----------------------------------------------------

Texans win the toss and defer. Chiefs to receive.

Goodness. Davis takes the opening kickoff back all the way for the TD. 105 yards.

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff is a touchback.

--------------------------------------------------

Texan's ball at their 20.

Blue for 3 or 4. 2nd and 6 coming up.

Pass to Washington off the mark, inc. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Pass to Shorts off the mark, inc. Texans will have to punt.

Nice runback on the punt but flag is down...... holding on the Chiefs backs it up.

[barrett]

The open WRs missed count is at 2 after the opening 3 and out.

[chuck]

The return doesn't bother me so much but Hoyer really needs to quit fking sucking and hit a wide open receiver. Christ.

[barrett]

What's with the cushion by the DBs? Are we afraid of Smith going deep?

[Arky]

Chief's ball at their 13.

Pass to Kelce goes for 7.

Pass to Smith gets the 1st down at the Chief 24.

Man, deep pass to Wilson is off the mark - he was wide open. Chiefs will have to punt.

Jeez, Hoyer's pass is thrown to a Chief - INT. Chiefs takeover at the Texan 33.

Well it looks like we know which Hoyer has shown up...

It also appears our special teams has stayed in bed also...
