Having just played (and won) their first playoff game in franchise history, the Texans are in uncharted territory. Next up is a tough test against a Ravens team that has been there and done that many times before. But unlike previous seasons, Baltimore begins its Super Bowl quest from home -- a place where it went a perfect 8-0 in the regular season. The Texans will have to rely on the running game if they want to overcome that stout Ravens defense. 1. Run! Nothing demoralizes a defense more than an effective running game, and the Texans definitely have one. The one-two punch of Arian Foster and Ben Tate combined for 2,166 rushing yards during the regular season, averaging 153 per game (second in the NFL). Foster is an explosive player, and we saw just how good he can be in Houston's wild-card win over Cincinnati (153 yards and two touchdowns, including one that came on a 42-yard run). Not only will a strong rushing attack help break down the Ravens defense, but it will also take pressure off rookie quarterback T.J. Yates, who did just enough to win last week. However, yards will be hard to come by against Baltimore's front seven -- a unit that was tops in the AFC with only 92.6 rushing yards allowed per game. The last time these teams met in Week 6, Foster finished with just 49 yards. If the Texans can't run the ball, Yates will be in for a tough day
