NFL Power Rankings, Week 11: Falcons stun Saints, Vikings hold strong
By Dan Parzych
8. Houston Texans (9)
With four wins over their last five games, do the Houston Texans have what it takes to keep the momentum alive on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens?
Over the last few months, the Texans have found numerous ways to pull off impressive wins, but there’s no question that Baltimore could turn out to be their toughest challenge to date.
While Deshaun Watson will certainly have the work cut out for him against a top defense in the Ravens, Houston will also need to come up with some sort of plan to keep Lamar Jackson in check.
Week after week, the Louisville product seems to find a new way to shine, and even though the Ravens recently played a winless team in the Cincinnati Bengals, Jackson still deserves credit for exploding on offense.
Looking at the similarities between Watson and Jackson, one can only imagine the type of excitement that could be on display in this one.
Most importantly, if the Texans can find a way to earn the win over the Ravens, it would certainly help Houston make a case for the AFC playoff picture.
After looking at the competition across the conference on top of the Indianapolis Colts within the division, Houston will take any extra help possible at this point.
