New Year’s resolutions for each NFL team

As the ball drops and we enter a new year, let’s take a look at the resolutions for each NFL team.

The Houston Texans won the AFC South in 2019. Deshaun Watson had a solid regular season—when he wasn’t on the ground or scampering to avoid that outcome—and Carlos Hyde put in a nice 1000-yard effort. The team finished 10-6 and looks to be on the rise, more so when JJ Watt returns.

2020 Resolution: Get defensive. No team that clinched their division had a slimmer point differential than the Texans. And while a win in the NFL is a win in the NFL, upgrading the defense is championship-level thinking—especially when looking at the overall pass-heavy NFL. A healthy JJ Watt will assist with the declined pass rush from 2019, no question there. But it will take more than Watts to power the defense.
