Get out the broom. Swept the Titans and the Jaguars. Colts next?

We had six turnovers but our offense only had 3 points in the 2nd half(unacceptable). Our pass defense disappeared when McCain got hurt, but we had two forth down stops to win the game. We're going to need to get JoJo, McCain, and Ball back for Monday.

11-1

14 carries for Foster, 14 carries for Forsett and 3 carries for Ben Tate who just returned from his hamstring injury. Gary Kubiak wanted to run the ball 30 times or more in this game and he did just that. The Texans rarely lose when they run the ball 30 times or more.

Nice 24-10. It wasn't total domination on the scoreboard and mostly boring but the defense played much better forcing 6 total turnovers despite no Johnathan Joseph.

11-1 record. Playoff berth clinched. Now time for the huge game at Foxboro against the Patriots next Monday Night.

The Texans need to clinch the 1st seed in the AFC now. There is still a lot to play for in the final 4 games.

A Colts loss to the Lions just means that the Texans need one more win or one more Colts loss to clinch the AFC South going into the next game. Because the Colts could technically win all four games left (including two against the Texans to own a possible 11-5 tiebreaker), and the Texans lose all four left. The Colts can still win the AFC South even with a Loss to the Lions right now but their chances are slim.

Colts still trying to pull it out late. Luck has them within possible game-winning TD range. The Lions are so bad!

But it doesn't matter if the Colts win today. All the Texans need to do is beat them once in the two games they have left versus them.

Lions blow in the clutch as always. Colts win.

Didn't really make much difference for the Texans' chances to clinch the AFC South though. Wasn't happening today even if they had lost.

I'm actually glad the Colts won. Makes the Texans strength of schedule look tougher in case they end up in a three-team tie for the 1st seed. If it goes down to the strength of schedule tiebreaker with the Ravens, Patriots or Broncos.

Texans just need to win though. That's the simple way.
