Yes, the Texans fall in this week’s NFL power rankings in spite of a victory over the Colts.

Why? Well, this team isn’t going to make any kind of postseason splash with the kind of quarterbacking it’s getting from Brock Osweiler.

And it isn’t as if he doesn’t have weapons at his disposal.

Houston’s precarious hold towards the top of the AFC South is predicated entirely on its defense. And with the Tennessee Titans playing well, it’s a hold that could easily evaporate over the final weeks of the season.
