MONDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: NFL
Competition: NFL Week 16
Date: December 26, 2011
Live / Repeat:Live
As with all sports leagues, there are a number of significant rivalries in the National Football League (NFL). Rivalries are occasionally created due to a particular event that causes bad blood between teams, players, coaches, or owners, but for the most part, they arise simply due to the frequency with which some teams play each other, and sometimes, rivalries exist for geographic reasons.
This rivalry is pushed forward by Houston’s desire to break into the playoff scene in the NFL. They have yet to post a winning record, but finished 8-8 in each of the last two seasons. Poised to take a step forward in 2009 with their young roster and developing talent, they will have to overcome the steady hand of Indy if they want to truly be a contender.
