AFC wild-card playoffs: Deja vu for Bengals? - Yahoo! Sports: "Before we look too far ahead to a possible Tom Brady-Peyton Manning matchup in the AFC championship game, it's worth examining how bad the Texans have looked over the past seven games.

It’s a game of two elite defenses against two kind of struggling offenses.”"
