Previous: . Houston Texans. 13. team. 10. Last week, the Texans finally came away with a road victory thanks to a 24-21 triumph at Jacksonville. And the team’s sixth win in nine games this year also featured a first: No turnovers for the first time in 2016. The Houston ground attack rolled up 181 yards against the Jaguars defense. And that will be the game plan in Mexico City against the Silver and Black on Monday night. The Raiders have shown plenty of vulnerability on defense and notably against the run, allowing 114.8 yards per game on the ground. But it’s also worth noting that the Texans have been even worse, surrendering 120.7 rushing yards per contest. <p>Next Week: Off a short week and a road trip to nearby Mexico City, the Texans play host to the 4-6 San Diego Chargers. The Bolts were off in Week 11, but the last time we saw them San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers was busy throwing four interceptions in a tough 31-24 home loss to the Miami Dolphins.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: Regardless of what happens Monday night at Mexico City, the Texans will remain atop the AFC South. The Colts (5-5) and Titans (5-6) are right on their heels but Houston owns home wins over both of those clubs this year. Things will get very interesting if Bill O’Brien’s team falls short against the Silver and Black.</p>. 6-3
