11. Houston Texans (4-3)

Recap: The Houston Texans had a chance to solidify themselves as the best team in the AFC South in Week 7, but failed to do so in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Texans were trailing the Colts 28-16 late in the fourth quarter, but a touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson to DeAndre Hopkins pulled the Texans to within one score. Watson and Co. got one more possession to send the game into overtime, but the Colts were able to pick Watson off for a second time to seal the deal.

Outlook: Just when the Texans looked to be moving in the right direction with two straight wins, one of which was against an elite opponent, Houston dropped a game to Indy. After falling to second place in the AFC South, the Texans will look to get back on track in Week 8 against the Oakland Raiders at home.
