NFL Power Rankings Week 7: Titans collapse and bench Marcus Mariota

Pros: Watson looked really solid today hitting his star WRs at all the right times, but most importantly he was keeping himself clean. Watson stepped out of bounds instead of trying to make big plays and the offensive line looked good for long stretches keeping him clean against a toothless Kansas City defense.

The DBs have some work to do, but for the most part they limited the Chiefs to two really big plays on offense and even the first Tyreek Hill TD was contested.

The Texans get to play the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans a combined 3 more times this year, so it is easy to be optimistic about a team that is almost already .500.

Cons: This is the last week that you get a big bump for beating the Chiefs who look like a shell of themselves. While there were long stretches were it looked like Kansas City forgot which shade of red they were wearing, you have to give credit to the Texans defense for flustering the Chiefs offense enough to win the game.

The kicking game needs to get cleaned up, but other than that the team looks ready to compete.
