The Houston Texans made complete foolery out of themselves at the NRG Stadium this weekend. Their 30-0 loss against the red hot Chiefs had NFL fans wondering why Houston even bothered to show up. The game initialized on a game-opening kick return from Kansas City running back Nile Davis. Despite the fact that Houston's defense forced several turnovers and red zone opportunities,QB Brian Hoyer put the writing on the wall with 4 interceptions and a fumble. He definitely might need to consider rethinking his long-term career plans after a performance like that. As for Kansas City, Saturday's win makes it 12 in a row and their first post-season victory in over a decade. In the upcoming Divisional round the The Chiefs will head to New England to match up against the Patriots in what should be a flat out thriller. It will be interesting to see if the Chiefs can do a doozy and clinch a AFC Championship berth by winning in Foxboro. Of course they'll need to put the clamps of the dynamic Patriots offense and their super QB Tom Brady.

The Cincinnati Bengals make yet another 1st round post-season exit t during the Marvin Lewis era and can point directly to their immature conduct on the football field. Not quite sure how they believed they would prevent a Steelers comeback with under 30 seconds to play in regulation playing the way they did. Thanks to a uncalled for unsportsmanlike hit from well-known wicked one Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict the Steelers marginalized a 18-15 victory over the NFC North's best. The 15 yard penalty was follow by a sissy like shove issued by DB Pacman Jones to Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter who was simply seeking to aid a unconscious WR Antonio Brown that laid on the field. With no timeouts and 22 seconds to play in regulation the Bengals gave Pittsburgh a 30 yard gain in the matter of 5 seconds. The Bengals deserved to loss the game. The Steelers will now head to Sports Authority stadium to match up against a well rested Broncos team that has no plans on being halted, especially with QB Peyton Manning back in the line-up. The match-up will be a rematch from Week 15 when the Steelers over came a 20 point lead to defeat the leagues best ranked defense 34-27. Be looking out for news regarding Antonio Brown's status in the media soon. Enjoy the post-season ladies and gentlemen.
