7. Houston Texans (11)

The Houston Texans continued rolling this week as they played a great game in London against one of their AFC South rivals, the Jacksonville Jaguars. After losing three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt for the season, their defense put together one of their best games of the year. Without their superstar defensive end, they rallied together and had four sacks — two of which came courtesy of Brennan Scarlett — and two interceptions.

Their performance was good enough to hold Jacksonville to just three points, but the offense stepped up as well. Deshaun Watson continued playing well as he was 22-of-28 for 201 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. Watson wasn’t alone in producing either as their running game was on fire.

Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson, both of who were on the Cleveland Browns together to start 2018, made some big plays. Hyde ran for 160 yards on 19 carries and Johnson ran in an impressive touchdown where he bowled over a Jacksonville defender. He was also great in the receiving game, leading the team with 68 yards through the air.

Houston takes this next week off and will be on the field again in Week 11 to play the Baltimore Ravens as they look to stay in the race for their division title.
