Broncos Look to Keep Faint Playoff Hopes Going Tonight vs Texans

Two teams looking to keep their faint postseason hopes alive get together at Reliant Stadium as the Broncos and Texans tangle in a Thursday night tilt in Houston.  Denver is coming off a 41-7 home rout of the Chiefs that has the Broncos at 6-and-7 with three games to play.  Denver is two games behind the AFC West-leading Chargers and also two games out of a wild card spot.  The Broncos will play the Bolts on the road a week from Sunday before finishing up at home against the Vikings.  The Texans are also coming off a big win, taking down Tampa Bay 28-14 at home last Sunday.  Sage Rosenfels threw three touchdown passes for Houston, which also stands at 6-and-7 in the AFC.  The Texans are 4-and-2 on their home field.
