Key Highlights
- They have the best scoring defense in the NFL and the offense still hasn’t been great, but they have been good enough to win.
- They went from near dead to being more likely than not to make the playoffs.
- There is still work to do, but the oddsmaker might even make them the odds on favorite to win the AFC South for the third season in a row. Like most Texans victories this season, there were extreme highs (mostly on the defensive end) and some pretty stark lows.
- We look at the numbers because eventually the aggregate tells us something about the Texans and football in general.
- As per usual, we will look at the great, the good, and the bad as we do in all Texans victories.
