The Texans are one of only twelve teams remaining in the hunt for a Super Bowl Championship, but don’t tell that to most of the national media this week. As of right now, Houston sits outside of the top twelve in all but two major power rankings (one of which is Bleacher Report, shockingly enough). I am personally okay with all of that, however, because IT DOESN’T MATTER, BRIAN. AFC SOUTH CHAMPIONS TWO YEARS IN A ROW, BRIAN.
Oh…uh…excuse me. I got a little carried away there. Here is what the media had to say about where the Texans stand relative to the rest of the league as we conclude the regular season:
| Website | Rank | Last Week | Comments |
| SB Nation | 15 | 14 | n/a |
| ESPN | 16 | 15 | Either Brock Osweiler or Tom Savage will join an illustrious list of Texans quarterbacks to start a playoff game, a list currently populated by Matt Schaub, T. |
