HOUSTON (AP) - Finally, the Houston Texans are playing a meaningful game in late December.
The problem is it's only meaningful to the Chicago Bears, still in playoff contention thanks to a big overtime win on Monday.
Most players insist that the chance to knock the Bears out of the playoffs isn't any added motivation, and cornerback Dunta Robinson did the same before admitting the obvious.
“We're not going to the playoffs, so we don't want to see anybody else go,” Robinson said. “So, we're going to go out and play hard. Anytime you end the season on a loss, that's a long offseason. At least with a win, you have something to look forward to for next season.”
