I concur this game is not a trap game but I think the definition leaves out the idea that the "stronger opponent" is looking passed the weak team often to another strong opponent the following week.Correct, its a "must win game" if we "overlook" Houston, season is probably over (still a chance of playoffs with some help...we control our own destiny, end it with a win)
Since the last game ended in OT, can't claim to be the "stronger" opponent.
"A trap game is when a stronger opponent overlooks a weaker opponent and the weaker opponent overcomes adversity potentially winning the game. This especially happens when the stronger team is on their home turf with their fans behind their backs."
I would think back to back "weaker opponents" kind of eliminates the idea of a trap game but in this case, since there is no guarantee for a next opponent if they don't win, I can't see this as a trap game.
