Assuming the Las Vegas Raiders don't unexpectedly play spoiler, the Houston Texans could inch one step closer to a third straight postseason appearance this afternoon. A win puts Houston's Playoff chances at just about 98 percent, but the name of the game for the Texans in Week 16 may be escaping unscathed.
The two-time defending AFC South champions are playing their best football of the season, but at this time of the year, one or two wrong injuries could derail an otherwise promising campaign. Fortunately, heading into Week 16, the Texans injury luck seems to be heading in the opposite direction, and yes, I'm quite literally knocking on wood as I'm typing.
