Two words: Arizona Cardinals.
I understand they're from a different conference, but they underscore that sometimes the magic can happen.
As for the Steelers and Ravens (and to a lesser extent, the Titans), they're proof still that having a solid-to-spectacular defense is still the best way to make it deep into the playoffs. A concerted focus this offseason by the Texans to improve the defense is needed, and getting the right coaching staff in place has been step #1.
And we're entering Year Four of Kubiak. I'm as optimistic as ever for his success here, but it's time for results or we will be starting over soon anyway.
