Win and they are in.
All the Houston Texans have to do to wrap up the AFC South is beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Saturday at 12:00 p.m. CT at Raymond James Stadium. By virtue of having a better division record than the Tennessee Titans, regardless of whether the Titans win out, the Texans would have the tiebreaker and take the division.
Quarterback Jameis Winston and the 7-7 Buccaneers stand in the way of the Texans. Winning five of their last six games, Tampa Bay is a potent offense that could put a Drew Lock-like beating on the Texans.
Week 16 could be a letdown for the Texans, or it could be a buildup for a playoff run. Nonetheless, the Texans are 1-2 against the NFC South this season and could finish with a .500 mark against the other conference for the second straight year.
