Last season, the Houston Texans emerged from the AFC South as one of two teams in the league to earn a playoff berth with single-digit wins. The Texans benefited from a weak schedule, their 5-1 interdivisional record helped them wear the crown for the third time in the last five seasons. Indianapolis and Houston are the only teams to win the South over the last seven seasons.
Looking ahead to 2016, the Beatdown staff expects the AFC South to be another closely-contested battleground division. Projections were mixed between Houston repeating or Indy reclaiming the top spot.
