19. Houston Texans (LW: 20)
Maybe the Texans aren’t dead yet. Improbable as it may seem, Houston’s victory in Cleveland keeps the team alive in an otherwise one-horse race. Quarterback Ryan Mallett looked solid in his first career start but, as it always seems to be in Houston, J.J. Watt stole the show – the defensive lineman came in for an offensive play and caught his second touchdown pass of the season. Houston remains a turnover-forcing machine – the Texans’ defense tallied another interception and fumble recovery – and the longer they can stay in games, the longer they can stay in the AFC South race.
