Any way you look at it, this weekend is very important for the Houston Texans, and it is a must-win weekend for the team, even if it is Week 4 of the 2018 season. The Texans have dug a huge hole to begin this year with a 0-3 record, and falling to 0-4 is all but saying there isn’t much of a chance to not just make the playoffs, but even thinking about that opportunity.
If the Texans were to start 0-4 this season with a loss on Sunday, there would still be a glimmer of hope to make the postseason as only once since the NFL-AFL merger a team has made the playoffs with an 0-4 start.
