Cliched look at the Texans

Great stuff from Kuharsky

The more physical team will win.

I don’t see it as any sort of guarantee here. The Colts can be a finesse team. Any squad that goes for speed and smarts over size and power fits the label, which has taken on a negative connotation because somehow power football is preferred. The Texans don’t like to be called finesse, because it’s usually part of the build up to someone accusing them of being soft. But there is nothing wrong with using athleticism and angles to make plays as opposed to brute strength. ( Ryan Lilja covered that nicely in this piece.) The Texans certainly can be the more physical team in this game and still lose it.
