Within the Houston Texans ' 40-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15, the offense saw an unexpected breakout from 2024 sixth-round pick Jawhar Jordan in his first-ever NFL game to help command the backfield while Woody Marks was sidelined with an ankle injury.

If the Texans get to 10 wins with a victory this Sunday, it would mark the third consecutive regular season where the Texans have won 10 games after finishing 10-7 in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

With Marks not practicing as the Texans try to manage his injury that forced him out of the game Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, veteran Nick Chubb returned to practice on a full-go basis from a rib injury.

On a six-game win streak, are the Texans among the top five teams in the NFL entering Sunday afternoon's bout against the Raiders?

With strong fantasy outings in three of their last four contests, the red-hot Texans have closed the gap. Houston is the only defense allowing less than 270 yards per game. The only team in the league allowing less than 17 points per game.
