My Texans take

• CJ Stroud's first half was fucking ridiculous. I understand it's overshadowed by his awful second half but still. The fact that even in his worst game all year he puts up a half like that is crazy promising
• Running game emerging gives me hope that maybe this success can be more sustainable through the rest of the year
• Demeco Ryans actually has pretty fuckin solid game/clock management which is something we haven't seen in Houston in a long time.
• On defense Pitre is not the player we hoped he would be right now. He's had a terrible stretch of games and is missing so many opportunities for big plays
• Christian Harris is balling out recently after a rough rookie year and a rough start to this year
• This pass rush is playing really well. I believe we are now 8th in sacks over the last 5 games
• Defense as a whole still feels a little suspect. It's very bend but don't break and I don't really know if that can hold up over the final stretch this year or in the playoffs

Cardinals ranker having the Texans below the Bucs, Chargers, and Jets feels like a real head scratcher

The Steelers being ahead of us in a lot of these is weird to me. Do people forget that we wiped the floor with them head to head while missing about a third of our starting lineup?

Dolphins just hanging on at 6 despite zero evidence they can beat a contender. Are other people just more impressed with the Dolphins than me or is it just a lack of options
