We’re still 6-3. But the AFC is extremely competitive, the Texans are only a game behind us, and our upcoming schedule is BRUTAL:

• Texans
• Bengals
• Browns
• Ravens

We can’t go into the Texans game on a 2-game losing streak with them likely continuing on a super hot streak (they play the Cardinals this week). If we enter that stretch of games at 6-4, we may come out of it barely .500 on the season.

To me this feels similar to the Bills game last night - we need to win these home games against inferior opponents if we want to make the playoffs, both for our record and our team confidence.

What do you think?
