They sit 3rd in the AFC South Division table behind Ryan Tannehill’s Tennessee Titans and the Indianapolis Colts. Both their wins in 2020 have been against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars who are last in the AFC South Division.
The Texans have undergone some major managerial changes over the course of the last 2 months. The sacking of GM/Head Coach Bill O’Brien was a defining moment in the history of the organization.
