We have already taken a look at the entire AFC East and AFC North, as well as the NFC East and NFC North, and have added the Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers to the list.

That means in the latest series for NFL Spin Zone, we have already made the case for 18 of the 32 teams in the aforementioned four divisions as to why they could make the playoffs in 2015. (Don’t worry: We will get to all eight divisions and every NFL club).

Here we explain how each club can reach the postseason IF they do this AND they do that. BUT if they fail to do something else and/or the team is derailed in some other way…well…there’s always next year.

Here we take a look at the Houston Texans, who won seven more games this past season (9-7) than they did in 2013, when they fell to 2-14.

So can head coach Bill O’Brien and company take another step forward?

We shall see. In any case, it means that the Houston Texans headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2012…
