NFL Power Rankings: Playoff blues reign following Week 17

team. 10. <p>The Houston Texans were certainly one of the more interesting teams here in the 2015 NFL regular season, but despite the way in which they got the job done, this team is headed to the NFL playoffs as the champions of the AFC South.</p> <p>Houston finished their season on Sunday with a win over the Jaguars, which pushed their record to 9-7 on the year. All things considered, when you look back on it, that is sort of remarkable.</p> <p>Once again, the Texans were more or less playing musical chairs with the quarterback position, even seeing Brandon Weeden not only get a start for this franchise, but leading them to a win. Oftentimes throughout the year it seemed as if the deck was stacked against the Texans, but one way or another they would find a way to come out on top. Really, in the end that’s all that matters, just getting it done when it matters the most.</p> <p>Still, though, when you look at this Texans team you have to point to the defensive side of the ball and J.J. Watt. This unit was generally the most effective on the field and is a big reason why they’re in the position they’re in.</p> <p>If they want to contend, seriously, for that Super Bowl title, then Watt and his crew will have to step up now more than ever.</p>. (9-7). Previous: . Houston Texans. 13
