Two huge wins for the Houston Texans in the last two weeks, a 20 point thumping of Jacksonville and a 24 point thrashing of the Steelers, have completely changed the trajectory of the 2023 season. Whereas expectations even two weeks INTO this season were some form of"same ol' Texans," the last two weeks, along with the reality that the schedule is not that hard, have people in Houston cautiously using the P word — playoffs.
For some context, each Tuesday morning on my SportsRadio 610 morning show, Seth Payne and I blend the five major NFL Power Rankings into one big power ranking, with all teams stacked 1 through 32. For the last two years, the Texans have spent all their time somewhere between 30th and 32nd. It's sucked. However, after Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers, the Texans now have an average ranking of 16.2.
Yes! They are basically in the upper half of the entire NFL! This is major progress! Furthermore, here is the average ranking of the Texans' remaining opponents, where the line divides those above and below the Texans' 16.2 ranking:This is even more good news! Translated, just three of the Texans' remaining 13 opponents are ranked ahead of the Texans, and all three of those games against those opponents are at NRG Stadium! It's about to get fun.
