Sitting at 8-5, the Houston Texans need one more win -- and an Indianapolis Colts loss -- to secure a second consecutive AFC South division title. Houston could be riding high entering next week's potential playoff preview against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After 13 straight weeks playing an NFL game, the Houston Texans' bye week finally arrived last weekend, and as much as everyone, fans and media included, needed a bit of a break, my energy level is completely rejuvenated for the Texans' stretch run of four more games.

The Miami Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans likely ended the team's playoff hopes. The setback dropped the Dolphins to 6-8 on the year and both the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos improved to 9-5.
