The Houston Texans are last place in another NFL power ranking. In other news, there is crime in Gotham City.
According to MMQB, the Texans are No. 32 in their latest power ranking. No one among the panelists voted for Houston to be anything other than last place. Their points in the poll — eight — are quite paltry when considering the Kansas City Chiefs, the first place team, had 251.
The writeup MMQB gave the Texans was particularly stinging.
On paper, the Texans have the league’s worst roster. This season has the potential to be an all-time trainwreck.
It is more piling on that won’t subside until the Texans get their first victory.
It also doesn’t help that general manager Nick Caserio acknowledged the 2021 campaign will be a bumpy one.
“It’s not as much outcome-oriented as process-oriented, and that’s what we’re trying to do and build,” Caserio said told reporters on Sept. 1. “What we’re trying to do is create a foundational culture where we have players who are tough-minded, who are selfless, who are going to work hard every day, and they’re going to compete their ass off. That’s what we’re trying to do. How does that manifest itself on a field on Sunday? That’s going to be about execution and how we play.”
The Texans will get their first shot at manifesting the process into winning results Sunday when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at 12:00 p.m. Central Time at NRG Stadium. The Jaguars are No. 28 in MMQB’s power rankings.
