Well on paper it's the worst matchup of the weekend, but Texans-Pats has an interesting doppelganger that should offer hope to Texans fans, and maybe scare Pats fans a bit: 2010 AFC divisional round against the Jets. Lots of similarities...
Pats are 14-2 this year; were 14-2 in 2010
Pats humiliated the Texans in the regular season at Foxboro; humiliated the Jets at Foxboro
Texans great defense; Jets great defense
Texans below average QB; Jets below average QB
Bill O'Brien has had success, but is he a great coach?; Rex Ryan had success, was worth questioning if he was a great coach
So all Brock Osweiler needs to do is have a game like Sanchez did (I think it was low yardage, but 3TDs, 0INTs), and the Texans play some great defense. And pray.
