James Allen+FollowSix in a Row: Texans Go From 0–3 to Playoff PushSince 1990, only ~2.4% of teams that start 0–3 have reached the playoffs; just six teams have ever done it, and the most recent was the 2018 Texans. This year’s Texans have ripped back to 9–5 (currently in the 7-seed) and are tracking to become the next outlier. They’ve won six straight, including a 40–20 win over Arizona on Sunday behind C.J. Stroud’s 3 TDs. Finish strong, and Houston joins one of the rarest clubs in NFL history. #NFL #Texans #PlayoffPush #CJStroud #StatWatch 20Share
Steve Francis+FollowFrom 5–1 to 7–7: Bucs staring at a three-week divisional sweep by their rivalsTampa Bay opened this season 5–1. They’ve since fallen to 7–7 after back-to-back divisional losses (Saints, then Falcons). If they drop next week to the Panthers, the Bucs will have lost to all three NFC South opponents in three straight weeks during this slide. From frontrunners to fighting for air in the span of a month. #NFL #Buccaneers #NFCSouth #Saints #Falcons #Panthers #PlayoffPush #TrendWatch20Share
