WEEK 8
vs. IND, 1 p.m. Oct. 27, CBS
last season by improving from 3-13-1 to
10-7, winning the AFC South and blowing out the Browns in their wild-card
game. Rookies spearheaded the dramatic
turnaround, led by first-year coach
DeMeco Ryans, NFL Offensive Rookie
of the Year quarterback C.J. Stroud and
Defensive Rookie of the Year defensive
end Will Anderson. Some regression is
expected, but the Texans will once again
contend for the AFC South crown.
