There's plenty of room to quibble about whether the Houston Texans offense is actually on track following five solid quarters of play that have come against the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens. But what is indisputable coming out of Week 5 is that the Texans defense may even end up exceeding the lofty expectations they entered the 2025 NFL season with.
Now it's important to note that the Ravens were without two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, and the Titans are probably one or two losses away from firing their head coach. It's not as if the Texans D has put the shackles on the Greatest Show on Turf Rams, the Peyton Manning-era Indianapolis Colts or even a fully healthy Ravens squad.
