The Houston Texans made their first playoff appearance in franchise history on Saturday and they also walk away with their first playoff win beating the Cincinnati Bengals, 31-10. The Texans looked like a really dominant team getting contributions from the running game and their defense.
The Texans had a lot of guys contribute to this win. Andre Johnson finished with 90 yards receiving and a touchdown. J.J. Watt had a sack and an interception return for a touchdown.
But the real MVP of the game is Arian Foster. It's really not even close. From the Texans first scoring drive to their last, Foster played a significant role. He ended the game with 153 yards rushing and 29 yards receiving. He scored two touchdowns -- with the highlight being this 42-yarder -- and when you add back up Ben Tate the Texans have a winning backfield. They're going to be really hard to beat down the stretch when they visit the Ravens next weekend.
