At least that's what coach Bill O'Brien and players are telling themselves after three straight losses capped by Sunday's 21-13 defeat at Green Bay has erased their lead in the AFC South.
''Moving forward, every game is a playoff game, starting next week in Indianapolis,'' quarterback Brock Osweiler said. ''We know how important every single week is.''
The Texans (6-6) have led their division all season, but their first three-game skid since October 2014 has them with the same record as Tennessee.
And a win by Indianapolis on Monday night against the New York Jets would leave the Colts at 6-6, too.
