The Texans lost 30-6 to the slumping Jets on Sunday, falling to 7-6 on the year. The loss put a giant dent in Houston’s playoff hopes, and they blew the opportunity to tie the Jacksonville Jaguars (lost to the Cleveland Browns) for tops in the AFC South.

Houston will visit the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.
