10. . . Previous: 29th. Houston Texans. 28. team

It had started to seem as though the Houston Texans were never going to give up on Bill O’Brien. The head coach was also the ultimate decision-maker for Houston and he was running them in the wrong direction. Even with that being the case, the front office left him as the team’s football czar, until last week.

Houston finally moved on from O’Brien with a huge argument between him and J.J. Watt possibly leading to the move. And now with him gone, they suddenly scored a win as they dropped 30 on the Jacksonville Jaguars to move to 1-4 on the season while also moving Jacksonville to the same record.

For interim head coach Romeo Crennel, it had to be a fun win and the Texans players deserved to feel good/ Having said that, they were against arguably the worst team in the NFL. Sure, the Jags aren’t winless like some other clubs, but their Week 1 win over Indianapolis is looking more and more like a fluke after every loss. And in this game, the Texans dominated on both sides of the ball.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson had three touchdowns and they averaged more than four-yards per run as well. Defensively, they forced a couple of turnovers and had several sacks. There were still some turnovers of their own that need to be cleaned up but it was still a good victory for them.
