And he's hardly alone. The NFL's best defense is eager to prove it's a unit capable of winning a championship.

Rankins returned a fumble by Aaron Rodgers 33 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to break open a tight game, and the Texans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6 on Monday night for the first road playoff win in...
