Ok, maybe my prediction was wrong but the Houston Texans showed me something today. The Houston Texans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 31-10. Both sides of the ball were on point for the Texans.


The Texans defense forced Bengals QB Andy Dalton’s hand and made him throw three interceptions. One of those interceptions was by Texans DE JJ Watt, who batted Dalton’s pass to himself and took it to the house. This happened right before the half and this set the tone for the Texans for the rest of the game.


Texans QB T.J. Yates was 11 for 20, with 159 passing yards and 1 TD. His only touchdown pass went to WR Andre Johnson. Johnson finished the game with 5 receptions and 90 receiving yards. Finally, RB Arian Foster had a big game with 153 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 24 carries.


The Houston Texans will take on the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.
