Following their victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the Houston Texans rose in the NFL power rankings.
With a 26-3 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the Houston Texans raised their position in the league standings and raised their hopes of making the playoffs at the end of the season.
The Texans moved up to No. 11 on the list with C.J. Stroud’s injured return this week, per the most recent ESPN ranking. Analysis of a significant offseason contract to keep an eye on is included in this updated list, with a focus on Houston defensive end Jonathan Greenard. The complete list is accessible here.
This week, quarterback C.J. Stroud made a comeback for the Texans, which had a significant effect on how they played the Titans. In the victory, Stroud completed 24 of his 32 passes for 213 yards and a score through the air, which increased Houston’s chances of making the playoffs.
At No. 8 in the league, Houston is now outside of the AFC playoff picture, just behind the Indianapolis Colts, who, in the event that the season ended today, would have advanced to the postseason. Fortunately, the Texans face Indianapolis this week in a head-to-head game, and NFL.com indicates that they presently have a 46% chance of making the playoffs.
