"We knew this was the game to punch our ticket to get into the playoffs,"
"A lot of guys were dealing with pain, injuries, guys went down on the field. I go talk to Kamari [Lassiter], he's coming up to me [saying] 'Coach, there's no way I'm coming out of this game.' That's the mindset of all of our guys. It's all on the line."
The Houston Texans rallied to clinch a playoff spot with a 20-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, completing a turnaround from an 0-3 start. The team also fell to 3-5 and trailed Jacksonville by 19 in Week 10 before rallying for a 36-29 victory. Houston has won eight straight games since that comeback, its second-longest streak in franchise history. The victory featured a 14-0 first-quarter lead followed by offensive stagnation and several injuries, including a knee scare for Kamari Lassiter and a re-aggravated oblique for Derek Stingley Jr. Coach DeMeco Ryans earned a third straight playoff berth.
