Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Denver remains the top team in the NFL but the Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, and Green Bay Packers are all climbing the NFL power rankings.

22. Houston Texans (LW: 21)

It was a strong first quarter by the Texans, but this team cannot win games with J.J. Watt alone. Ryan Fitzpatrick has a limited skill-set, and he thrives when his team has a lead. Watt did about all he could, but he needs Jadeveon Clowney to be his Robin and maybe some help from the secondary.

What to know: Despite the Monday night loss, J.J. Watt notched his third game with both a sack and a fumble recovery. In contrast, no other player has more than one such game. (ESPN Stats & Info)
