Playing at altitude in Mexico City on Monday Night Football against the Oakland Raiders certainly wasn’t going to be an easy task for the Houston Texans.

But give credit to Houston for sticking around long enough and forcing the Raiders to a 14-point comeback in the fourth quarter. It might not be a big accomplishment in the U.S. But at altitude in Mexico, it’s a different story.

Brock Osweiler isn’t a good quarterback, but he has an excellent receiving corps. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is fun to watch, and it’s good the Texans are getting tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz involved early and often.

Oh, and running back Lamar Miller is pretty good too. Same goes for linebacker Jadeveon Clowney.

Critics will still call this team the worst 6-4 team in the league. With Osweiler under center, sure. But there is enough firepower elsewhere to keep Houston in contention down the stretch.
