The Houston Texans and the NFL Power Rankings: Week 9

What a terrible, no good, very bad Sunday afternoon game against the Carolina Panthers. What should have been a layup to get above .500 for the first time in two years turned into a nightmarish trap game, complete with injuries, another bad game from rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, a disastrously underwhelming game from Dameon Pierce, and a fumble.

…Oh, and another, yes, another game-losing field goal to end the game.

There are no easy wins in the NFL, there are only games where the roster executes their game-plan well, and games where they don’t.
