The only thing that might change the equation is if Hopkins and D-Thomas both go crazy.

With the Titans winning yesterday (they are 9-6!) and assuming the Colts will get by the Giants today (which would make them 9-6), next week's Colts @ Titans matchup could be a game for a playoff spot. If Pittsburgh doesn't get by New Orleans, they could be out of it.....

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

Miller and Coutee out today.....

Eagles on the board first with a long drive. On 4th and 2, Foles checks down to Sproles for 37 yards and the TD.

Eagles 7, Texans 0

6:32 left in the 1st qtr.

[Arky]

Texans get in the red zone but can't get in the end zone. Settle for a Fairbairn 30-yard FG.

Eagles 7, Texans 3

14:52 left in the half.

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

Giants 14, Colts 0

[Arky]

Clowney with the sack/strip/fumble recovery at the Eagle 5! Watson runs it in on the next play!

Extra point no good.

Texans 9, Eagles 7

10:23 left in the half.

[Arky]

After about 33 plays in the red zone and using about 7 minutes on the drive, Foles hits Ertz for a 1 yard TD pass.

Two point try no good.

Eagles 13, Texans 9

3:08 left in the half.

These referees are straight guessing out here.

That said, Alfred Blue took a nasty late hit to the helmet... flag correctly thrown.

[Arky]

Watson drops back and decides to scramble in from 6 yards for the TD. Texans aided by some favorable penalties during the quick drive....

Texans 16, Eagles 13

1:17 left in the half.

[Arky]

Eagles mount a furious drive before halftime but run out of timeouts and short of FG range. Score remains:

Texans 16, Eagles 13

Hoping OB's excellent leading-at-halftime record kicks in here...
