Texans built to win now, which makes Baltimore blowout troubling

BALTIMORE -- The Houston Texans went all-in in the offseason, making dramatic moves to boost their near-term chances at the expense of future draft picks. They made trades and signings to win this season because they believed their roster had enough talent and quarterback Deshaun Watson gives them a chance to beat any opponent.

The Texans traded two first-round picks and a second-rounder to protect Watson's blind side with Laremy Tunsil, and they added wide receiver Kenny Stills. The Texans traded a third-round pick for running back Duke Johnson and traded away Jadeveon Clowney for a third-round pick and two players.
