NFL Week 15: 5 Teams That Must Win Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
By Ryan Ratty
Houston Texans
After starting the season 3-1, the Texans have been wildly consistent. Houston has been in multiple close games this year. At 7-6, fresh off a victory against the Indianapolis Colts, the Texans have won two in a row and they will be looking to finish strong so they could make the playoffs. Bill O’Brien has done a great job in his first season as head coach and the craziest thing is that the Texans don’t really have a starting-level quarterback.
Besides their game on the road against the Colts, the Texans will host the Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Weeks 16 and 17. Beating the Colts will be difficult, but these AFC South teams have history with each other. There’s an outside chance of them making the playoffs, but if they win in Week 15, the Texans will stay alive in the playoff hunt.
