After a home lo s to the in Week Three this season, many were ready to bury coach Bill O'Brien, even some listing him as a po sibility to be the first to be fired.Now a strong case can be made that O'Brien could be the NFL Coach of the Year.The Texans started 0-3, Shaq Lawson Jersey but have ripped off nine straight victories as the hottest team in the league. They are the first team to accomplish that in league history, which is a tribute to O'Brien.I've always considered him one of the better coaches in the league, a bright offensive mind who just needed some time to get things going with the Texans. He was limited by bad quarterback play in his first few seasons, some of that by quarterbacks he is said to not even want on the roster. See .Now he has under center and the Texans are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. With a fierce pa s rush on defense to go with Watson, they have the ingredients to make a deep playoff run. If the were to beat the Thursday night, the Texans can clinch the AFC South by beating the Sunday. That would be a heck of a turnaround for a team that was staring 0-4 in the face in their first meeting with the Colts in Week 4, but rallied to win overtime.The Texans are up to No. 5 in my Power Rankings this week. They are also pushing the and the for a first-round bye and potential home-field advantage in the playoffs.Nine weeks ago, that would have been absurd to say.Give O'Brien credit for turning things around. The September chatter about sending him packing seems laughable now. Biggest Movers 5 Cowboys 3 Saints RkTeams ChgRcrd 1 They continue to win games putting up big numbers on offense. But now they get the ultimate challenge facing a good Bears defense on the road. 1 2 They will be without Kareem Hunt the rest of the way since he's been released, but the offense will be fine. Patrick Mahomes can score on anybody. 1 3 It's December, so here come the Patriots. The defense is improving by the week. 1 4 We'll give them a mulligan for the game at Dallas last week. They are just too good on offense to think it will be a pattern. 3 5 The only major concern with this team remains the offensive line, but Deshaun Watson's ability to move can compensate for that some. 3 6 This team has come alive at the right time. That defense is legitimate as they face a big division game with the Eagles. 5 7 Pete Carroll should be mentioned as a Coach of the Year candidate and Ru sell Wilson is in the MVP talk. They will be a playoff team. 5 8 Even with a dominant defense, they can't just line up and win with anybody at quarterback. They need Mitch Trubisky back this week against the Rams. 3 9 That was an impre sive victory on the road against the Steelers. Philip Rivers has been special this season. 3 10 That was not a good home lo s to the Chargers. Why didn't they run the ball with the lead? 3 11 Lamar Jackson has won three straight to get this team into playoff contention. But now comes a real tough one against the Chiefs on the road. 3 12 That was a bad Damar Hamlin Jersey look against the Jaguars last week. Their season will be decided this week against the Texans. 3 13 The offense just wasn't good enough against the Patriots. They need more from Kirk Cousins in big games. 3 14 Here come the Broncos. They have a soft schedule and can really make a playoff push. 5 15 They looked like a playoff contender against the Redskins. But they must beat the Cowboys this week to have a chance. 3 16 What has happened to this team? Four straight lo ses has them in jeopardy of mi sing the postseason. 3 17 They are still alive in the push to be a wild-card team. The schedule isn't that tough either. 3 18 They are down to their third quarterback in a season full of injuries. It's on to 2019 now. 3 19 They saved their playoff chances with that late-game touchdown pa s by Marcus Mariota against the Jets. But they can't afford another lo Taiwan Jones Jersey s. 3 20 With Mike McCarthy fired, the rest of the season is getting ready for 2019. Who will be the coach next season? 3 21 Jameis Winston is making a case he should be the starter in Tampa next year. 5 22 Baker Mayfield looked like a rookie against the Texans, but that can happen. They still have their long-term guy, which is a good thing. 1 23 Without Andy Dalton, they are done. Is this the end for Marvin Lewis? 1 24 They are still fighting and their playmakers are making plays. They've actually won three of four. 1 25 It's hard to believe they are this far down. They just haven't looked right this season. 2 26 Matt Patricia's first season is done in terms of a playoff chance. They really lack skill players on offense. 2 27 They battle every week, which is a good sign for Sean McDermott. Now it's time to get him more talent. -- 28 They showed a defense against the Colts that most expected to see this season. Where has that been? -- 29 With all the talk of coach Steve Wilks being a one-and-done, winning at Green Bay is a good thing for him. They battled, which wasn't the case the week before. 1 30 The bad season just keeps getting worse. They just don't have enough players. 1 31 They need this season to be over. It's time to look to 2019 when they get Jimmy Garoppolo back. -- 32 They competed at Tenne see, but they just aren't good enough right now. Is a new coach coming? --
