Houston Texans Playoff Picture


If you're a fan of the Houston Texans you're probably asking yourself "do the Texans really have a chance to make the playoffs". Well, the answer is yes. Albeit a very slim chance, where multiple pieces have to fit together. Currently there are 8 teams vying for 2 wild card spots and an additional 2 teams (New England and Cincinnati) that still haven't locked up their divisions. Baltimore and Denver are currently (8-6) and the other 6 teams, including Houston are (7-7). Of all the teams competing for the playoffs, the Texans are the longest of the long shots. They are resting at the bottom of the tiebreaker barrel because they are 4-6 in the AFC.

Mathematically the Texans are still not eliminated because there are scenarios out there that will enable the Texans to make the playoffs. I am sure there are multiple scenarios, but I think I have found a scenario that isn't too far fetched. (I completely realize this is a complete and utter long shot, but it's Tuesday and my dreams are still alive so I am having fun with it).

I have attached a spreadsheet that helps explain:
