"Andre Johnson burst out of his stance and ran toward Adam Jones.

He slowed down and quickly stutter-stepped to make Jones believe he was coming to a halt to make a move. But he didn't stop.

Instead, he streaked down the sideline, leaving a stunned Jones in his wake, hauled in a pass from T.J. Yates and burst past another defender near the goal line for a touchdown.

He stood still, stared at the roaring sellout crowd of 71,725, soaked it all in and acted as if he had been there before. After a torturous nine years in the NFL, Johnson had finally arrived.

In the end zone. In the playoffs.

And the Texans, a 10-year-old franchise that had been run down, roasted and ridiculed through so many years of mediocrity, had arrived as well."
