Are Houston Texans Already on the Clock?

NFL Week 4 - The Houston Texans look like they belong in some upstart minor league. They're coached by a relic from the turn of the 21st century. Their quarterback is an overpromoted clipboard jockey. Their roster is full of veterans with "so that's where he ended up" name recognition. Everything about the Texans screams USFL. For the second year in a row.

The 0-2-1 Texans are now the favorites to end up with the first overall pick in the 2023 draft according to our Football Outsiders playoff odds simulations. Yet they are also just a few plays away from being 3-0.
