00:00
We'll be right back with more coverage of the Houston Texans.
00:05
Recapping Monday night football in what it means at the conclusion of week number 11 of this 2024 NFL season.
00:11
And then after that, in this opening hour, what we have in store starting in week number 12.
00:17
The Houston Texans, Joe, taking care of business last night.
00:21
That's how I best describe it. Pulling away in the fourth quarter to even cover as more than a touchdown favorite on the road in Dallas.
00:29
The Texans are the only team in the AFC South division with a winning record above 500.
00:35
This was going to be a very compelling division because if Jacksonville could bounce back, would they give chase to Houston?
00:42
What would Indianapolis look like in the de facto rookie season with Anthony Richardson?
00:47
Well, the answer so far is minimal competition for the Texans.
00:51
Now it's seven and four. The updated win total is ten and a half.
00:56
But entering this year, Houston was a odds on favor to win the AFC South.
01:01
Regardless, the up and coming team that had already been to a place.
01:06
Nobody expected in the rookie seasons of both CJ Stroud, the quarterback and head coach D'Amico Ryans.
01:12
You see the number now at minus 1450.
01:15
The question on the Texans is not are they going to win the division?
01:19
It's the next step. Are they going to take that offseason optimism and make a deep playoff run?
01:26
I don't know, Ben. I mean, listen, they'll take the win any which way you can get it.
01:31
But to have Nico Collins back in that lineup and that's what we all heard, right?
01:36
Was because, well, he hasn't had all his weapons and you know that now that I still don't trust that offensive line.
01:43
I still don't trust the decision making.
01:46
And when you look at some of the quarterbacks that had monster weeks this week, Derek Carr.
01:52
I mean, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts. You look at some of the numbers that those guys had in wins.
01:58
And then you look at what Stroud had. All right, congratulations.
02:01
But what happens when you play better defenses and better competition?
02:05
Are we really trusting this guy to win 11 games then?
02:09
And they're going to win the South. That's obvious. But then what? What are you going to do?
02:14
It feels like a one and done kind of playoff team to me.
