Tom Brady still believes Texans are a Super Bowl contender

Why should fans of the Houston Texans calm down after the team’s 34-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3?

Well, Tom Brady isn’t worried and he knows a thing about making it to the Super Bowl.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion and often considered G.O.A.T. of the NFL listed the Texans fifth on his power rankings of teams headed into Week 4. The quarterback-turned-broadcaster for Fox labeled Houston as his best team with a loss entering October because of the offensive personnel.

“They’re going to bounce back quickly against the Jags,” Brady said of Houston’s overall persona. “I know their offensive line has a little room for improvement. They’ve given up a lot of sacks over the past couple of games, but I know this Texans team is going to be in contention all season long.”

Brady, who won six titles in New England, knows the value of a stable offensive line. The Texans were hindered by lackluster play Sunday and carless penalties, including five against Laremy Tunsil.

Entering Week 4’s contest against Jacksonville, the Texans have allowed 12  sacks, fifth-most in the NFL.
