I don't want to suggest that our listeners don't watch a ton of football.

That's why I don't understand this 180 that's going on right now.

If they've watched the Texans who have played a handful of games in national windows where you don't have to go hunting to find it or have a Sunday ticket pony.

Their defense flattens people more often than not.

It just beat up the Kansas City Chiefs.

Physically just beat them into submission, right?

Rashi Rice probably still, you know, he's going to have children who feel the hit Petrie put on him in that game.

And, like, I think what I am getting confused by is, or maybe what I would explain away as the reason why people are feeling this way, is that because everyone finally looks at the Texans and says, this doesn't look like a destroyer of worlds kind of opponent.

Their defense does.

I know, but people don't think about that.

They think of the quarterback more than anything else.

Because it's not the Steelers going in against either Jackson, Allen, or Mahomes, right?

Yes.

They feel like there is just a basic level chance, and then they are extending that.

Because I feel that way too, by the way.

I actually feel like if the right chips fell, the Steelers were to pull off an upset that I think 45% of me thinks they can do.

Tomlin's defense gave up 45% to Blake Bortles.

He's not Allen, Jackson, or Mahomes.

I'm aware.

That happened.
