Ravens outlast the Texans, 20-13

Baltimore allowed their first 100 yard rusher in playoff franchise history as Arian Foster carried Houston on his back with his 132 yards, but it wasn't enough as the Ravens forced three costly INTs from Texans Rookie QB TJ Yates. All three picks led to Baltimore scores and all of the Ravens points came off of turnovers, so Baltimore should consider themselves lucky that they played a rookie 5th round QB. Joe Flacco was harassed all day as he threw only 176 yards, which won't get their offense anywhere as they will try to keep up with the Patriots offense next week in Foxborough.

Texans beat the Bengals in their first playoff game, 31-10

Since the Texans joined the NFL in 2002, they haven't been in the playoffs. That all changed this year as the Texans started this Season with an impressive 7-3 record, but their luck seemed to change when Matt Schaub went down with a broken foot. Going into the playoffs with a 3-game losing streak and a rookie QB, things looked gloomy for Gary Kubiak's squad. On Saturday, when the Bengals came into Reliant Stadium, the atmosphere was electric. Cincinatti would quiet down the crowd a bit by drawing first blood, but Andy Dalton, the rookie out of TCU, would throw three INTs as Arian Foster had a great game to put away the Bengals and send Houston to Baltimore.

Leinart screws over another team

The Texans lost Schaub for the season, so Gary Kubiak's team put some faith into the former Heisman winner from USC and Cardinal QB. The game started well for the Texans as they focused on grinding the ball with Arian Foster and Ben Tate and setting up short passes for Leinart. Leinart led the a texans to a TD over the Jags, but right when you think Leinart is starting something good, he let's you down. However, to be fair, his collar-bone let him down and now Houston must invest in rookie QB for North Carolina, TJ Yates. Yates would preserve a 20-13 win over MJD and Blaine Gabbert's Jaguars at Everbank Stadium.
