Atlanta Falcons vs. Houston Texans: Live Score, Video and Analysis

The Houston Texans were able to outlast the Atlanta Falcons as they win a close one, 17-10. 

Rookie QB T.J. Yates did what he had to do to win. He had no interceptions and took care of the ball when he was asked to throw. 

Arian Foster rushed for 111 yards and scored the go ahead TD late in the fourth quarter to help get the Texans to their sixth win in a row. 

The Texans had to show off their resiliency again after Andre Johnson went down with an injury.

Houston must now be seen as a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the AFC. 

They have continued to win football games despite a laundry list of injuries. 

Their defense has proven that they are the best in the NFL after shutting down a solid Falcon offense. 

Houston does not do it with style points, they do it with tough , hard-nosed football. 

Running the ball right at the defense and aggressive, physical defense is the recipe for a Super Bowl team. 

For Atlanta, this loss hurts because of the cluster of teams at 7-4 headed into this week. Atlanta now falls to 7-5 and are in a tough spot for the playoffs. 

They are far from out of it, but this loss was huge. 

Houston will stay in the top spot in the AFC as they head into their match up with the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Now the talk all week will be about Andre Johnson as Houston fans will hope to have him back.
