Can the Steelers’ Super Bowl-Caliber Defense Silence the Underdogs Once and for All?
The Texans were my pick to win the AFC South, and though they fell short, they certainly had a respectable season, finishing at 12-5. The biggest reason that they struggled was the beginning of the year being absolutely brutal. They started the season 0-3, but none of the games were out of reach. They lost the opener to the Rams by five, then lost the next game to the Buccaneers by one, and then fell to the Jaguars by seven. The problem was the offense; there is no question about that. It seemed to get resolved a bit as they played bad defenses the following two weeks, beating the Titans 26-0 and the Ravens 44-10. After the Bye Week, they ended up losing to the Rams by eight, beat San Francisco 26-15, and then lost 18-15 in a duel to the Broncos. Since then, the team hasn’t lost a game. For the season, the most points scored on them was Week 18 as Indianapolis scored 30. They’ve only allowed six teams to even score 20 or more points against them this year. This is a Super Bowl-caliber defense, but is their offense up to the task?Â
