They are in good shape at the best of times. THE Texans finished the regular season in style with a victory against the Colts. A success that makes them climb (+5) in 6th place in this Power Ranking for the first time this year.
On the other hand, other teams are in difficulty in this last week. THE Dolphins (-5)THE Broncos (-6) and the Falcons (-4) notably losing a lot of ground.
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven’t played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won’t plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…
