Entering Week 3 in the endlessly growing pile of power rankings, the Houston Texans have given those ever curious stackers of teams enough ammunition to put a fire behind the words “mediocre, bottom-five team.” A tie to a Colts team now embroiled in their own death spiral to begin the season and a prompt loss to the Broncos is all most analysts need to keep Houston at the bottom of the rankings. Even though a closer look at the woeful 9-point performance magnifies encouraging performances from the offensive line, rushing attack, and defense, none can wash away the capitulating feeling a 3 field goal offense places on Texans fans.
