Congrats, Texans. Never thought you could take 2-of-3 through the Indy, Baltimore,New England gauntlet.

Now it's Denver, Tennessee twice and Tampa Bay.

I can now tell my kid to tell my grandkids that I once saw the Texans give the Patriots a beat down on national television. What a world.

These Titans games were obviously looked at as sort of afterthoughts not all that long ago, but they are now critical. I like that the games are concentrated - the team that plays better when it counts will win the division.

We would probably have to lose both Titans games to lose the tiebreaker to Tennessee within the division.

BTW, Chuck, I'll be in PC on the 10th, 11th and 12th.

In a confidence pool this week I just said screw it and put max confidence on the Texans. Good week to be a homer.

And what did Josh Gordon do behind closed doors to get run out of NE. Without him they are worthless on the outside and have nobody on the roster who can threaten 20 yards downfield. They are going to have to win every playoff game 17-9. They might finally be done.
