It's a December Sunday without Texans football, and it's not because the Texans have a bye week. Your Houston Texans play in perhaps the crown jewel game of the 2012 NFL regular season under the bright lights and in front of the national audience of Monday Night Football tomorrow in New England, which means you've got an extra day to work yourself into a frenzy. It also means you're virtually guaranteed to get absolutely nothing accomplished at work tomorrow.

To pass the time, at least for today, I suggest you consider participating in this open thread to discuss the other, lesser NFL games that are going on this afternoon. We'll open another thread for the late afternoon games at 3 p.m. CST and a third, final thread for tonight's Lions-Packers game at 7 p.m. CST. Enjoy.
