The Houston Texans don’t seem that far away on defense.
Although the Texans gave up the second-most yards in the NFL last season and also the sixth-most points en route to a 4-13 finish, defensive coordinator Lovie Smith followed through with his philosophy on takeaways. The Texans were tied for the 10th-most turnovers last year with 25, the only team with a losing record to be in the top-10.
If Houston could add a couple quality free agent defenders, it may be enough to start cutting back on the yards allowed and points scored.
