Depends on which final four you're talking about, chief.

Not talking about the draft here. The division round of the AFC playoffs is still their high-water mark, leading to a predictable evisceration in Foxboro or Baltimore.

Man, that was one dull SNF game last night (Pitt vs. NE). Pats looked like a machine, Big Ben looked like he has lost his touch. Gotta think the Texans vs. Saints will be a better show......

The Patriots have eviscerated us and the league for almost 2 decades.

Baltimore was a one score game.

Texans don't do much on the opening possession. Punt it away.

Saints do a little better, move it into Texan territory but have to punt. Carter fair catches at the Texan 10.

2 sacks on Watson so far. Pass-protection not so good. Texans punting it away.

Saints get the ball around midfield.

6:57 left in the 1st qtr.

Deshaun should get rid of the ball faster.

[Arky]

Saints driving toward the goal line and Mercilus gets a saving INT. Watt with the pressure on Brees. Texans ball at their own 5.

2:55 left in the 1st qtr.

Boom. Bombs away to Fuller for 54 yards.

[Arky]

Texans at the Saints 29. 2nd and 9 coming up.

End of the 1st qtr.

[Arky]

On 4th and short, Watson keeps around left end, runs for 20 and the TD!

Texans 7, Saints 0

14:13 left in the half.

Nice call.
