15. 2016 Houston Texans
Regular season: 9-7 | Playoffs: 1-1
Brock Osweiler! Yes, the former Broncos backup who was gifted a four-year, $72 million contract from the Texans in 2016 was at his Brock Osweiler-est in 2016, completing 59% of his passes and throwing 15 touchdowns to 16 interceptions while Houston’s defense — led by underrated players such as safety Quintin Demps, cornerback A.J. Bouye, and edge rusher Whitney Mercilus — overcame the back injury that cost J.J. Watt all but three games. The Texans beat the Derek Carr-less Raiders in a wild-card game, then got skunked, 34-16, by the Patriots in the divisional round. Osweiler completed 23 of 40 passes for 197 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions in that game. The 2016 Texans had a point differential of minus-49 in the regular season, ninth-worst of all the teams on our list.
