5. Houston Texans Houston has had the offense in place to get to the playoffs for the past few years since Matt Schaub has stayed healthy. The main question in Houston was the Texans defense. Houston finally has a defense that can get them to the playoffs. Can this Texans defense help Houston win in the playoffs? Houston switched to the 3-4, moved Mario Williams to the 3-4 right outside linebacker role, and obtained Jonathan Joseph in free agency. Joseph is a premium #1 shutdown corner who can take away part of the field. Joseph is not in the same league as Revis, but Joseph is a premium shut down corner.
