Last week, I placed my faith in the Texans at home against a Washington Commanders team I felt was ripe for a letdown game. Instead, Houston trailed for more than 58 minutes and Taylor Heinicke improved to 4-1 as a starter this fall without having to do much of anything.
The good news is this kept Houston in line to replace Davis Mills with a quarterback taken with the top selection in next spring’s NFL Draft. The bad news is it tanked my picks. Week 12 will bring a deluge of Thursday football thanks to Thanksgiving. It also brings a slate of uninteresting games after the holiday, with the exception of Bengals-Titans.
