The Houston Texans are one of the few teams that can go into their second string players, and not fall off in overall team production. Majority of analyst realized that the Texans had a solid roster heading into the 2012, and after a seeing how the team responded in 2011 with their rash of injuries, the team was set for bigger growth this season. The injuries of the 2011 season was a blessing in disguise because players who had no reason being on the field got much needed playing time, which now is paying huge dividends in the 2012 season. This season the Texans are playing far from perfect games but are still good enough to be at 8-1 this season. If the Texans ever hit that perfect game, it could mean bad news for whoever that opponent maybe, but we know it is coming. There is a new breed of Texans that are bringing that “culture” of winning to Houston and will be here for some time.

I guess the Texans move into the #1 spot at Chicago’s expense with their win over them, but you have to wonder what the outcome would have been had Cutler not gotten hurt (he threw an interception on a promising drive immediately after suffering that concussion). It’s a shame that Cutler had to get hurt in what seemed like it would be the most revealing...
