Texans atop the whole AFC? It could happen

Here's a crazy thought: The Houston Texans with home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.

Yep, the team that began the season 0-3 just might sneak past the Chiefs and Patriots and claim that coveted spot.

The Texans have won nine in a row. They've done so in all sorts of ways, from strong defense to opportunistic offense to solid special teams to superb coaching.

On Sunday, they face Indianapolis (6-6) and can pretty much knock the Colts out of postseason contention with a win.

Indianapolis has won three of the past four against the Texans in a series in which the past eight games were decided by seven or fewer points.
