THE Houston Texans can’t clinch the No. 3 seed on Christmas Day, but they can move closer to a better playoff bid with a win at NRG Stadium.
Houston returns home for the holidays with a Week 17 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Led by potential MVP candidate Lamar Jackson and former Tennessee Titans bully Derrick Henry, Baltimore looks to secure the AFC North division title heading into the Week 18 season finale.
CJ Stroud’s sophomore slump continues. He’s still a solid player who should be considered a franchise signal-caller, but his Offensive Rookie of the Year magic has since waned amid an overall disappointing season.
What about Joe Mixon? Is he still able to finish with over 1,000 yards in his first year with the Texans? Can Nico Collins post back-to-back 1K seasons on Wednesday against one of the most improved secondaries in the league?
How about the duo of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter? Do they still rank in the top three in bags before Christmas morning?
