The team that wins the toss chooses a “ privilege “. That is they decide between kicking off / receiving OR defending a goal OR deferring their option until the second half
It was, but there are few players remaining from that version. Defense had a pretty good game though, and offense still had a chance as limited as they were. Still, not completely unfamiliar territory for Allen.
In that situation I’d say yes. Anyone thinking of seeding or a specific matchup may think otherwise, but if the primary consideration is making the postseason ( which to me it is) then a Texans win is better.
