NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week
By Dan Parzych
9. Houston Texans (11)
After seeing how close things were the first time the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars met, most football fans expected to see a close battle take place in London between these two AFC South rivals.
Instead, the Texans had little trouble getting by the Jaguars in this one to win their second game in a row, and continue making the race close in the AFC South with the Indianapolis Colts since this battle could go down to the wire at the end of December.
Once again, Deshaun Watson continues to show why he’s one of the top quarterbacks on the rise in the NFL with another impressive performance in London, but when it comes to the best performance of the day, Carlos Hyde deserves the honors from this one.
Even though it was frustrating to watch the Ohio State product fumble the football on his way into the end zone following an impressive run, Hyde still finished the game with 160 rushing yards on 19 carries.
If Houston is lucky, Hyde will continue to play on this high of a level when the team returns from the bye in two weeks since the Texans will need all of the help possible against the Baltimore Ravens, and their stellar defense.
