Playoff Appetizer? You Might Be Looking At One Here.

The AFC is more interesting than it has been in years (according to me) and these two have something to do with it. Let’s dig in.

To The Game!

Texans/Chargers:

-As a matter of fact these squadoos faced off last year in the postseason and Nico went off for 122 yards. Houston will need more Stroud-to-Collins magic today.

-Might we have an interesting defensive tussle on our hands this afternoon? The Texans boast the #1 overall D in the league and Los Angeles sits way down there at #3.

-Them Texans have gone on a 7 game W binge and have given up more than 21 points only the one time. The O has had its moments (36 vs the Jags, 40 vs the Cards) but otherwise have averaged a mere 20 points themselves. This is a highwire act during the regular season but is playoff-type mode in action.

-Rook rb Hampton seemed to be getting into a groove before an ankle owie set him back. Last week he had his best outing since his return with 85 yards and a score. He should be implemented in the passing game a bit in order to keep the opposing D off balance.

Get at it.
