Texans win?!?!

Yeah, I was just as surprised as many Texans fans that the Texans pulled out a win against the Cincinnati Bungles in the first round of the NFL playoffs. 

They couldn't make it easy, oh no!  Only up by 6 points towards the end, and all it would have taken was for the Bungles to make one TD pass, and it would have been over.

The Texans cannot get to the Super Bowl unless and until they start scoring more TD's and quit kicking so many Field Goals.  Still, a win is a win is a win.

I see that the New England press is already taunting the Texans, calling them "fraudulent" and "the worst 11-1 team in history."  It's understandable, since the Patriots totally crushed and embarrassed the Texans in early December on Monday Night Football.

If the Texans can't learn from that humiliation, it will be all over.  Their defensive line has to step up and hassle Tom Brady big time.  If Brady gets plenty of time in the pocket, it will truly be all over.  And the Texans defensive secondary has to play more man-to-man.  Finally, the offense has to wake up out of its funk and remember how to score TD's. 

Anything is possible, but it'll be a near-miracle if the Texans pull out a win next Sunday at New England.
