The AFC South champion Houston Texans (12-4) and Cincinnati Bengals (10-6) meet in a Wild Card rematch from a year ago on Satur-day at 3:30 p.m. at Reliant Stadium. Houston defeated Cincinnati, 31-10, in last year’s Wild Card game at Reliant Stadium. The Texans bolted to an 11-1 start to the 2012 season but lost three

of their last four games heading into the postseason, including a 28-16 defeat to Indianapolis last Sunday. The loss knocked Houston from the top spot in the AFC to the third seed. Cincinnati battled back from a 3-5 start to go 7-1 in the second half of the season behind a stifling defense that his given up less than 20 points in all but one game in that time. The Bengals enter the postseason as the sixth seed. Houston is one of only two teams to rank in the top 10 in offense and

defense in the NFL. NFL sack leader, team MVP and Defensive Player of the Year candidate DE J.J.

Houston’s offense boasts six Pro Bowl selections, including the AFC’s

leading receiver, WR Andre Johnson. Johnson caught 112 passes for a career-high 1,598 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Texans. RB Arian Foster led the NFL in touchdowns for the second time in three years with 17 total scores and ranked second in the AFC with 1,424 yards rushing. QB Matt Schaub eclipsed the 4,000-yard mark for the third time in his career and was named to his second career Pro Bowl with a 90.7 passer rating behind an offensive line that features Pro Bowl-ers LT Duane Brown, LG Wade Smith and C Chris Myers.The Bengals’ stout defense ranked second in the NFL with 51 sacks,

including 12.5 from Pro Bowl by DT Geno Atkins. Cincinnati is giving up 319.7 yards per game to rank sixth in the NFL but has held opponents to 282.0 yards allowed per game in the last eight games.Houston is 4-3 all-time against Cincinnati, including the playoffs. The

Texans have won the last four meetings between the two teams.

TEXANS 10th ANNIVERSARY LOGO

The Houston Texans are wearing a patch adorned with the above logo this season to commemorate 10 years as an NFL franchise. Texans founder, chairman and chief executive officer Bob McNair spearheaded the effort to bring professional football back to Houston. The hard work paid off when the NFL awarded Houston its franchise

on Oct. 6, 1999, and the Texans were born. Regular season play began with a 19-10 win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 8, 2002, at Reli-ant Stadium.

SPECIALISTS



Marvin Lewis is in his 10th season as Bengals head coach, posting the longest tenure in franchise history. Lewis was the consensus choice as NFL Coach of the

Year in 2009, when the Bengals won the AFC North title while sweeping all six division games. The Bengals also won the AFC North in 2005 under Lewis.Lewis was named the ninth head coach in Bengals his-

tory on Jan. 14, 2003, becoming at the time the eighth African-American to become an NFL head coach. In recognition of the 8-8 Bengals being the NFL’s most improved team in 2003, Lewis finished second behind Bill Belichick of Super Bowl champion New England in Associated Press Coach of the Year voting.Lewis came to the Bengals with credentials as a record-setting NFL

defensive coordinator who had earned a Super Bowl championship ring. His six seasons (1996-2001) as defensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens included a Super Bowl victory in the 2000 season.In the 2000 regular season, Lewis’s defense set the NFL record for few-

est points allowed in a 16-game campaign (165), clipping 22 points off the previous mark. The 2000 Ravens are always an entry in discussions regarding the best NFL defenses of all time.In 2002, the season before he joined the Bengals, Lewis led the Wash-

ington Redskins to a No. 5 NFL defensive ranking, serving as assis-tant head coach as well as defen-sive coordinator.He had his first NFL assignment

from 1992-95, as linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers.Lewis began his coaching career

as linebackers coach at his alma mater, Idaho State, from 1981-84. ISU’s team (also nicknamed the Bengals) finished 12-1 during Lew-is’s first season and won the NCAA Division 1-AA championship.Lewis played LB at Idaho State,

earning All-Big Sky Conference honors for three consecutive years (1978-80). He also saw action at quarterback and free safety during his college career. He received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Idaho State in 1981, and earned his master’s in athletic administration in ’82. He was inducted into Idaho State’s Hall of Fame in 2001.

HEAD COACH COMPARISON

Gary Kubiak has constructed a talent-laden roster and installed an offensive system that has ranked among the NFL’s best since taking the reins of the Houston Texans. Kubiak was named the AFC Coach of the Year by Kansas City-based NFL 101 after leading the Texans to a 10-6 regular season record and the franchise’s first AFC South division crown, playoff berth and playoff win

in 2011. He has a franchise-record 60 wins (including the playoffs) and has led the Texans to back-to-back AFC South crowns in 2011 and 2012 since being named the second head coach of the Houston Texans on Jan. 26, 2006.The Houston native has led the Texans to the five best seasons in

franchise history, going 8-8 in 2007 and 2008 before producing the first winning season in team history in 2009, narrowly missing the playoffs at 9-7. His tenure has been marked by offensive proficiency, producing the top five scoring, total offense and passing season marks in franchise history from 2007-11. The top two rushing seasons in franchise history have come on Kubiak’s watch as well, including a franchise-record 153.0 yards per game in 2011, which ranked second in the NFL.Four of the Texans’ top five defensive seasons have come under Ku-

biak, including the third-largest defensive turnaround in NFL history from 2010 to 2011. The 2011 Tex-ans gave up 285.7 yards per game to rank second in the League after giving up 376.9 yards per game and ranking 30th in 2010. Strong team performances on

offense and defense have been sparked by some outstanding in-dividual efforts under Kubiak. Sev-enteen of the 21 Pro Bowl elections in team history have come during Kubiak’s tenure, and the Texans are the only team in the NFL to produce a rushing, receiving and passing yardage champion since Kubiak became head coach. One of Kubiak’s primary goals upon arriving in Houston was to create

a home field advantage at Reliant Stadium, and he has made significant strides in that direction. The Texans have posted a 35-21 (.625) home record since 2006 and have had at least a .500 record at home in each of Kubiak’s seven seasons. The team was 10-22 (.315) at home prior to Kubiak’s arrival.Kubiak spent 20 of the previous 23 years in the Denver area, where he

earned a reputation as a brilliant offensive strategist. He played in 119 games and tossed 14 touchdowns for the Broncos from 1983-91 as the backup for Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway. He was a part of three teams that reached the Super Bowl.In his 11 years as offensive coordinator in Den-

ver, Kubiak’s Broncos amassed 66,501 total yards and 465 touchdowns, the most in the NFL in that span. He coached 14 different Broncos who made the Pro Bowl, and Denver’s rushing attack totaled 25,022 yards, most in the NFL, during his tenure.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET

In the first playoff game in franchise history and first playoff game in the city of Houston since 1994, the Texans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 31-10 in front of a record crowd of 71,725 at Reliant Stadium. The Texans’ defense had four sacks, three interceptions and one touch-

down – a 29-yard interception return by rookie DE J.J. Watt – against Bengals rookie QB Andy Dalton. Texans RB Arian Foster ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, and WR Andre Johnson had a 40-yard touchdown catch in his long-awaited playoff debut. After falling behind 7-0 midway through the first quarter, the Texans

went on a 31-3 run the rest of the way. They outrushed the Bengals 188-76 and won the turnover battle 3-0.The Bengals scored first with a 1-yard touchdown run by Cedric Ben-

son with 7:34 left in the first quarter. It was set up by a 52-yard pass interference penalty on Texans S Glover Quin on a deep pass from Dalton intended for rookie WR A.J. Green.The Texans responded with a six-play, 80-yard drive to tie the game.

Foster scored on an 8-yard touchdown run on first-and-goal.The Bengals and Texans traded field goals in the second quarter. Tex-

ans K Neil Rackers’ 39-yarder made it 10-10 with 1:48 left in the first half. Three plays later, Watt made the play of the game. He jumped be-hind the line of scrimmage and snared Dalton’s pass, then tucked the ball away and ran 29 yards to the end zone. The second half was scoreless until late in the third quarter, when

rookie QB T.J. Yates hit Johnson for a 40-yard touchdown down the left sideline. On the next drive, the Bengals went for it on fourth-and-three from the

Houston 47. Dalton was pressured by Watt, Reed and Connor Barwin into throwing a desperation pass that was picked off by former Bengals CB Johnathan Joseph at the 25-yard line.Texans FS Danieal Manning made a spectacular interception near

midfield on the Bengals’ next drive. On a pass intended for Green at the right sideline, Manning caught the ball at the peak of his jump and just barely came down with both feet inbounds. Three plays later, Foster ran for a 42-yard touchdown on third-and-

seven. He burst around the edge on an outside zone run to the right, then tossed aside Crocker at the 20-yard line as he tiptoed down the sideline on his way to the end zone.

EXECUTIVE VP & GM RICK SMITH/COACHING STAFF

Rick Smith is in his seventh season as Texans gen-eral manager and second as executive vice president of football operations, overseeing all aspects of football operations. Smith inherited a two-win team when he was named general manager on June 5, 2006 and has since worked closely with the coaching and scouting staffs to build the Texans into a two-time division cham-

pion by identifying and signing elite players who have helped produce an exciting brand of football. Smith has steadily strengthened Houston’s roster through the draft,

free agency and trades. His main philosophy has been to build through the draft and supplement via free agency with a thorough and innovative front office staff that has the Texans pointed toward sustained success. Smith has also been active in league affairs while at the helm of the

Texans. He was appointed to the NFL’s prestigious Competition Commit-tee by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Dec. 5, 2008, and was an original member of the General Managers Advisory Committee, which provides advice and other feedback to the NFL Football Operations de-partment on the integrity of the game, expansion of technology and other ways to improve the game. In addition, Smith has earned recognition from his peers and was honored with the Tank Younger Award in 2008, presented annually by the Fritz Pollard Alliance for outstanding work in an NFL front office. Smith has orchestrated several trades that have benefited the Texans

greatly, including a deal with Atlanta in 2007 that brought quarterback Matt Schaub to Houston. Since then, Schaub has become the Texans’ all-time leading passer, the 12th player in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in back-to-back seasons (2009-10), led the NFL in passing in 2009 with 4,770 yards, was named the 2010 Pro Bowl MVP and has helped lead Houston’s offense to a top-four NFL ranking each year from 2008-10. In 2008, Smith traded with Denver for center Chris Myers, who became the first lineman in Texans history to make the Pro Bowl. Perhaps the best overall draft class of Smith’s tenure came in 2009,

when the Texans drafted Brian Cushing with the 15th overall pick. The former USC linebacker went on to earn NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl honors, and led the team in tackles in 2011 for the second time in three years. Smith also signed running back Arian Foster as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2009. Foster had a breakout year in 2010, leading the NFL with 2,220 yards from scrimmage, 20 touchdowns scored and 1,616 yards rushing, the most ever by an undrafted player, in addition to earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. In his former role with the Denver Broncos, Smith was responsible for

evaluating players from around the NFL as well as those in NFL Europe, the Canadian Football League, the Arena Football League and other professional leagues. He also played a central role in the club’s prepara-tion for the college draft and was one of the Broncos’ primary negotiators for player contracts.With Smith heading the pro personnel department, the Broncos posted

the league’s fifth-best regular-season record from 2000-05, going 61-35 (.635). The 61 wins were the most of any AFC West team during that span, 10 more than the next closest team, Kansas City. Denver was one of only four teams in the NFL to reach the playoffs each season from 2003-05.
