Redskins/Cowboys Preview

Which defense is going to have something today against these two talented quarterbacks in a good groove.

Both units have lost their defensive heart and souls for a few weeks now, with signal caller Sean Lee being out for Dallas while pass rushing standouts Orakpo and Carragher have been gone from earlier this year from the nation's capital.

Clearly the Cowboys are not hampered on defense like the Redskins, and that could be the key difference today despite the X, Y, and Z factor that is Griffin.

FINAL: Texans 34, Lions 31

Well, the Lions can start their offseason plans officially, as they have blown this game completely. And for Jason Hanson to miss that kick with his great credentials made the blow even worse after the 10 point collapse.

Texans/Lions 4TH Quarter Thread Needs: 

For Detroit:
1) Once again, they must establish some sort of balance. 12 carries only for Leshoure is just not enough to relieve pressure.

2) For the Texans, they need Bradie James and their linebacking core, as well their secondary, to not give up more yards after the catch.

And already as of this post, Jim Schwartz's team commits to the run and goes up 31-24.

Later on, Matt Schaub showed how clutch he is, even on an off day for him and this offense. Now the game is tied at 31-31. Simply put, a must win for the Lions today.
