Midway through the NFL season, the Texans have managed to earn sole possession of first place in the AFC South division.
They've accomplished that despite losing the pivotal turnover battle that normally decides the outcome of games.
The Texans are currently tied for 29th in the NFL in turnover margin with the New York Giants, with a minus-seven difference. They have committed 13 turnovers, including nine interceptions by quarterback Brock Osweiler. They've forced just six turnovers forced on three fumble recoveries and three interceptions.
"Overall as a team, we have to make sure that we try to flip the turnover–takeaway ratio," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said.
