Coach Gary Kubiak backs Houston Texans consolidate strength before playoffs – NFL News
Twelve impressive wins on one hand and two miserable losses on the other, this explains the two ends of the Houston Texans’ performance of this season, and provides enough food for thought for coach Gary Kubiak to urge his side improve further to stand a
chance of progressing through the second round successfully.
As a result of their remarkable run of the season, the Texans are already in the playoffs and have clinched the American Football Conference (AFC) South division, second time in a row. With two more games to go now in the regular season, they are on the
way to qualify for a home-field advantage in the second round with at least one win.
Coach Gary said:
"It'd be huge for this team because playing at home in this league and having the benefit of your crowd and getting off on cadence and those types of things, big factor in success in this league.”
He added:
"We worked hard to get to the playoffs. We worked hard to win a division and now we got to continue that same effort to try to find a way to possibly be a one seed in this playoff hunt."
The Texans won their last game against the Indianapolis Colts. It was a home tie for them and the visitors led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck committed so many mistakes that it was all too easy for the hosts to walk over the Colts at the end.
It is pertinent to mention that the result of the last game was exactly opposite to the Texans’ game versus the New England Patriots a week earlier. Their defensive and offensive lines completely failed to make an impression on the field. This baffled everyone,
including Kubiak.
The coach acknowledged:
"It was disappointing because we could have put some points on the board. You only get so many opportunities in this business."
Kubiak has now backed the Texans to work on their mistakes they committed in the two losses or otherwise, and improve the areas where they need to before the playoffs. The Texans were ousted in the second playoff game in 2011, when they played the second
round for the first time. This year, the team appears to be a far better unit and should progress even further.
