. Previous: 7th. Houston Texans. 10. team. 10.

The Houston Texans have the fewest amount of points in the AFC South and Deshaun Watson has been sacked 18 times in four games and is on pace for 72 sacks.

For a running QB who has struggled with injuries every year and who is running a lot this year, that number is alarming.

The only reason they are up this high is because I still think that Watson to Nuk Hopkins is one of the most dangerous tandems in the NFL and that J.J. Watt seems to be slowly getting back to a medium speed thanks to their best defensive player Whitney Mercilus stepping up.

If anything happens to any of the players I mentioned, consider me out on the Texans and I could see them with a losing record easily if things go wrong.

They need to find a way to protect Watson quickly or acquire a backup QB worth something because other wise the clock is ticking on their season and their post season hopes.
