Week 15 NFL Power Rankings

Eddie Lacy

19. Houston Texans (LW: 19)

Don’t look now, but, with back-to-back divisional wins against the Titans and Jaguars, the Houston Texans are alive in the AFC playoff picture. At 7-6, they still have a chance to grab the divisional title, and Houston has the opportunity to further that effort when they travel to Indianapolis this week. Trailing the Colts by two games, a Texans loss would seal the division for Indianapolis, while likely knocking Houston out of the postseason hunt for good. Now is the time for the Texans to prove that their late surge was not merely a result of playing Tennessee and Jacksonville in consecutive weeks.
