"It's a really nice win for us," Ryans said. "Huge win for us to get one in our division. I'm really proud of the way our guys just played complementary football. That's been a struggle for us in the games that we've dropped, so just seeing everybody step up and make a play when the other side wasn't doing so well, everybody played together. That's what's most impressive about this win. When we need a first down, seeing our offense being able to run the ball there on third and five to get the first down. Our O-line, I thought did a really great job all game with protection. Also, just run blocking. Joe [Mixon}, again, another big game on the road running the football. Really proud of the effort that all of our guys showed today.”

The Texans now go into their bye with an 8-5 record and they will need the rest before playing three games in the span of 10 days from Dec. 15-25.
