Entering his sixth NFL playoff game, Houston cornerback Kareem Jackson has pretty good idea of what the Texans need to do to advance past the first round on Saturday: Be ahead at halftime.
In Jackson's three previous trips to the playoffs since joining Houston as a 2010 first-round draft choice out of Alabama, the Texans won the two games that they lead at halftime and lost the three in which they trailed at halftime.
"It's tough to dig your way out of a hole once you're down a couple of scores, especially in the playoffs," Jackson said.
