Congrats to the Texans for a really-big-win !
I definitely had my doubts that they could pull it off down in south FLA, but that outstanding first half gave them enough of a lead to hold off the charging 'Phins in the second half.
Monday morning, really the whole week is so much more enjoyable after a win on Sunday.

BTW - thoughts about rookie running back Arian Fosters performance yesterday ? He had virtually a 100-yard game with a 5 something yard-per-carry average.
Who does he remind you of if anybody ?
But I think it's just another example of Kubiaks "backs are a dime a dozen" philosophy and I doubt he uses more than a third-round pick in Aprils Draft on a back ?

He looked absolutely solid! Loved it.

It was a nice win and definitely keeps our slim playoff hopes going.

We may indeed have a good running back in Arian Foster. Seems he knows how to run, catch , block, and can break big runs as well as tough yardage.

We need to play a full game at the same tempo as we did in the first half, if we are to beat NE.

This is the truth. NE will NOT be sitting the starters. They will be playing for seeding level that they need.
