The Houston Texans are one of the top dogs in the AFC thanks to their consecutive AFC South titles. Quarterback Deshaun Watson also provides an added element of making every game competitive and exciting.
Here are four Texans games NFL schedule makers ought to put in prime time.
1. Texans-Titans
Anytime a wild-card team surpasses the division winner in the playoffs, it is instantly elevated to must-see television. Was it a fluke that Tennessee got as far as the AFC Championship Game, just as it was bad luck on the Texans’ part that the Kansas City Chiefs caught fire and beat them 51-31 despite being down 24-0? Who really runs the AFC South?
Optimal viewing: Week 4, Monday Night Football, NRG Stadium. Get it out of the way early and give the Titans a chance to win a consequential game in Houston. In Week 17, the Texans had no incentive to play their starters, and Tennessee cruised to a 35-14 win that punched their ticket to the playoffs.
