THE WARM UP ACT One team made the playoffs after benching their quarterback off the strength of a decent defense and ... quite frankly no one knows how the Texans made the playoffs, and the backup is injured so welcome back Osweiler. The other made it with a dominant offense... that's now missing its quarterback and left tackle. These two teams combined for a pretty drat exciting matchup in Mexico City earlier this year, and... we won't be getting that today. The Raiders will probably want to protect Conner Cook as much as possible by running the ball, but they had little success in Mexico, while the Texans will uhm, throw the ball to Deandre Hopkins 25 times? DVOA Weighted offense: (how they've performed over the last half season) Texans 30th Raiders: 11th Weighted defense: Texans: 8th Raiders: 21st Special Teams: Texans: 32nd Raiders: 11th ======================================================================= THE SLUMPBUSTER Earl Thomas suffered a hamstring injury against the Eagles then was lost for the year against the Panthers. Since that first injury, the Seahawks have gone 3-3... with wins over the Rams, Panthers and a squeaker against the 49ers. Their pass defense has been downright awful since he was injured but it's a question about how much that will matter since.... Matthew Stafford broke his diddling finger a month ago, and since then the Lions' passing game has struggled heavily as they've lost three games crawling into the playoffs. They'll need that though, as Seattle's run defense is still stout and the Lions' defense is very, very bad. DVOA: Weighted offense: Lions: 19th Seahawks: 17th Weighted defense: Lions: 32nd Seahawks: 9th Special teams Lions: 6th Seahawks: 13th Good luck everyone. Try to not fire your coach if you lose.

A backup center with a QB with a busted digit is probably really bad, yeah.

Did Stafford's middle finger really have any effect? I mean yeah they lost the last 3 games after the finger but they were playing the Giants, Cowboys, and then Packers all of which made the playoffs and are (IMO) waaay better teams. I will say Stafford's completeion went from 67% to 60% it just doesn't seem like it was all his finger. I think the Lions kinda have a chance against Seattle.

It had some, but he also lost his starting center and his second-string running back, so those calamities combined killed the offense.

Looking forward to inevitable disappointment. If it leads to Osweiler never starting another game for Houston, it'll all be worth it. Go Texans.
