The Houston Texans are reeling after losing two games in the span of five days to the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens, two teams that could appear in the gauntlet for the AFC playoffs. The losses showed that the Texans are a step or two behind those teams,

Following a 31-2 loss on Christmas Day against the Baltimore Ravens, the Texans (9-6) are locked into the No. 4 seed for the AFC postseason. Even if they finished 10-7, their record wouldn’t surpass either team in the AFC North to catapult up to the No. 3 seed.

Texans players admit that their performance was "embarrassing" after the blowout loss to the Ravens. It's now painfully obvious that there's a large gap between the Texans and the top tier of teams in the AFC.
