shutting down Foster, who had just 41 yards on 15 carries.
“We were very, very lucky (to defeat the Bengals),” coach Gary Kubiak told the Texans’ official website on Tuesday. “We know we won’t get away with that type of effort this weekend.”
It would be hard to call the Texans lucky with the number of injuries they’ve overcome this season.Arian Foster was third in the NFL with 1,841 yards from scrimmage, but he missed two games at the beginning of the season with a hamstring injury. Houston has not had All-Pro linebackerMario Williams (pectoral) in the lineup since October following his season-ending injury, while All-Pro wide receiver Andre Johnson has played just seven games due to injuries to both hamstrings.
Johnson returned in Sunday’s 23-22 loss to the Titans following a three-game absence, but Yates played just one series after suffering a bruised left shoulder when he was sacked on his first snap.
Yates, though, is expected to start after backup Jake Delhomme played for the first time since being signed Nov. 29.
Kubiak also had a chance to rest many of his regulars last Sunday - including Foster and tight endOwen Daniels - with the No. 3 seed already clinched, but losing three straight was not how the Texans wanted to head into their first playoff game.
“We’re ripping off the rear-view mirror,” tight end Joel Dreessen said. “The regular season is over with, and the Texans are officially invited to the postseason. We open up at home, in one week. And that’s our focus right now. It’s a whole new season, and we have to play at our best.”
The Bengals (9-7) have the same approach as they enter the postseason for the third time since 2005, but are looking to advance for the first time since a 41-14 wild-card victory over the Houston Oilers on Jan. 6, 1991.
