Check out how that game unfolded.

Henry ran 21 times for 88 yards, but as a team TEN ran for 166 yards, so they established their run game.

Watson had a respectable game, but screwed the team over by throwing two INTs.

But they scored 2 TDs in the first half and led 14-0 coming out of the half.

It took TEN 9 minutes and 16 plays to score their first TD. Run, run, pass. Run, run, pass . . .

But it eats up the entire 3rd quarter.

Then HOU goes on a long drive and scores another TD eating up 3 minutes.

And then TEN goes on another long drive for a TD.

And then HOU goes on another long drive TD.

And so on.

My point is, at the end of the game, when TEN needed to score fast to have a chance to even tie, they couldn't do it. That grind it out heavy run game is also their anchor. They can't score fast. They literally ran out of time because they took so much time to score on each drive. They ate up their own chance to get the ball back and tie.

Even against the worst scoring defense in the playoffs TEN couldn't score quickly.

Think about that.

Andy and Pat know this. They're going to score fast out of the gate; they aren't going to try to eat up clock in the first half. They're going to drop bombs on TEN and force them to try and score fast. Which they can't do.

We got this.

Henry was hurt that game. He was basically jogging. That is why he sat out the Saints game.
