The Baltimore Ravens control their playoff fate with the regular season winding down.
Baltimore (9-5) is tied with AFC North rival Pittsburgh atop the wild-card standings, though the Ravens currently own the second spot due to a worse division record. Both teams are also one-half game behind Cincinnati for the North lead.
The Texans (7-7) had won two in a row before losing two quarterbacks in last Sunday's 17-10 defeat at Indianapolis. Ryan Fitzpatrick was carted off with a broken leg in the second quarter, and rookie Tom Savage suffered a knee injury.
While Houston left the door open for Savage to return in Week 17, he's been ruled out against the Ravens.
Ryan Mallett, who had taken over for a benched Fitzpatrick in Weeks 11 and 12, is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle.
What I Want To See:
- Run the rock. Arian and Blue need to be BIG time today.
- Protect...whoever is under center. Last thing we need is more injuries at QB and/or beat and battered.
- Going to see a lot of things you're used to; get ready!
- WIN AND GET HELP! Go Texans and everyone who needs to beat teams we need to see LOSE!
Last two to go, folks! Welcome back from that 6 day bye, and it's time to get back to work. Now, it's obvious that making the playoffs look slim-to-none at best, but it doesn't hurt to take a shot at making it. That starts with winning this week vs. an old friend. Let's get this W, go to 8-7, and see if we can get some help today. LET'S MUTHA****IN' GO, TEXANS!
