8. Houston Texans (11)

After coming up short against the Indianapolis Colts in November, the Houston Texans knew the pressure was on heading into Week 12, especially since they were technically trailing in the AFC South standings.

Once again, Deshaun Watson displayed another one of those performances that showed why he’s considered one of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL.

But when it comes to the biggest difference-maker from the win over the Colts, Will Fuller V deserves plenty of credit for showing just how dangerous this offense can be when the wideout is healthy.

Rightfully so, DeAndre Hopkins (six catches for 94 yards with two touchdowns) receives most of the recognition on offense since there’s a reason why he’s viewed as one of the most explosive players in the league.

With Fuller leading Houston with seven catches for 140 yards to help take down the Colts, this is the perfect example of just how dangerous this offense can be, and the Texans seem motivated to do whatever it takes to finish on top of the division.

Thanks to their Week 12 win over their rivals, the Texans control their own destiny moving forward with a full-game lead over the Colts in the AFC South.
