If I’ve got the tiebreakers right, an Indy loss be Jax next week would clinch playoffs for Texans, but an Indy win would give Texans shot at the division.

Not really the start I was looking for. Gonna keep an ear on the game but back to the yard for me.
Would be very appreciative if Texans could put the Raiders away early and let me get back to solving my yard drainage issues.

I know Indy thinks they are still in the playoff race, but you could not get me to go out and sprint deep 30-40 times with a sore achilles and 44 yr old QB ~3 months before free agency.

@riversmccown.bsky.social did you catch a screengrab of Pitre using smelling salts on the field while Fox was trying to talk up the guardian helmets? Not exactly the look NFL was aiming for.

Trey McBride has some incentives to earn apparently. Arguing about a 2 yard gain to keep the clock moving in the 2 minute drill 😂

I watch an above average amount of Texans football…if I have to lookup the roster to find out who you are (#31 Clark) then you probably shouldn’t be in man coverage on McBride at the goal line.

After every game for the last month feeling like an elimination game for the Texans, this is a huge let down spot at home.
