Different Texans team returning to Baltimore

Houston's Playoff run ended with a 20-13 loss at Baltimore in the Divisional Round on Sunday. Fantasy Spin: Quarterback T.J. Yates completed 17 of 35 passes for 184 yards, with no touchdowns against three interceptions - and was clearly razzled against a ferocious defense in a hostile environment at MT Bank Stadium. Stud running back Arian Foster had a strong outing with 132...

Even the most devout Texans fan had to question how far rookie quarterback TJ Yates could carry them into the playoffs. The answer? To the Baltimore 38 yard line at the two-minute warning of the AFC Divisional Championship game. Friend of TGS Patty Hsieh of The Pigskin Arch made a bold prediction: the Houston Texans would make three bone-headed plays in this game against the Ravens...

Jacoby Jones' inexcusable punt-return fumble wasn't the reason the Houston Texans lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game. It happened with 11 minutes left in the first quarter, far too early for it to be the definitive difference between victory and defeat. Don't tell that to Houston Texans fans, who will be playing games of "what...

The Houston Texans, fresh off their first playoff victory in franchise history – a 31-10 spanking of the Cincinnati Bengals – come to Baltimore for the second time this year hoping to earn a berth in the AFC Championship game. As I said several times this week, the Texans are to be commended for their first ever postseason win, and for doing it with a third string quarterback...

HOUSTON TEXANS (+7.5) @ BALTIMORE RAVENS I think you go points here. The Texans defense should be able to keep the Texans in this game. Both defenses give up an average of 17 PPG. Both offenses score about 24 PPG. This is a very even matchup. I think this spread should be more like +4.5. Houston is giving up just 85.7 rushing yards per game in their last 3. I think you see the Texans...

Do you love defense?  The third clash in the Divisional Round of the 2012 NFL Playoffs features a bare-knuckles brawl between the Houston Texans (11-6) and Baltimore Ravens (12-4) in M&T Bank Stadium at 1:00pm EST on CBS. The parallels between these two teams in postseason play are almost unparalleled. Photo Credit: GuysNation.com Both clubs rank in the Top 5 against the run...

Baltimore leads the Houston Texans, but not without a scary moment for Ravens’ special teams. On the opening kickoff, Houston’s Danieal Manning returned the ball 60 yards to give the Texans field position at the Baltimore 41-yard line. The defense made a stand and held Houston to a field goal.Baltimore’s offense then went three-and-out.However, on Sam Koch’...

So far the NFL playoffs have had one thing in common; the home team has not lost yet. Through the wild card round and half way through the divisional round, the home teams are 6-0. The Broncos, Texans, Giants, Saints, 49ers and Patriots have defended their turf. However, there are two games on tap for today as the Texans travel to Baltimore and the Giants visit the Packers.Historically...

To beat the Texans, the Ravens will need to contain Houston running back Arian Foster.  They’ve laid the foundation for it by installing artificial turf at M&T Bank Stadium. Sal Paolantonio of ESPN reports that Foster said during a pregame, on-field discussion that he “hates” FieldTurf.  (Technically, the Ravens use Sportexe Momentum.)  Paolantonio points out…

Houston needs an inspired defensive performance to pull the road upset with rookie QB T.J. Yates
