The old adage states that 'defense wins championships,' and one thing that what we've learned through 14 games this season is that the Houston Texans defense is plenty good enough to make it all the way to the Super Bowl.
By the numbers, not many defenses this century that have been as stingy as the Texans have, and most of the ones that have managed to measure up have made extended runs in the Playoffs. In fact, since 2000, 12 teams have led the NFL in both points and yards allowed in a single-season, and seven of those have ended up playing in at least the Conference Championship Game.
