Bye week drops Texans in Week 11 USA TODAY NFL power rankings

The Houston Texans took Week 10 off as they recovered from their trip to London to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 26-3 and also gear up for the last seven games of the season. As such, it had an impact in the power rankings.

According to Nate Davis of USA TODAY, the Texans dropped from No. 5 to No. 8 overall over their bye week.

If Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson can replicate fireworks from their 2016 college showdown, then Houston-Baltimore will be game of the week.

Compared to the rest of the AFC South, there are no other teams near the top-10. The Indianapolis Colts are at No. 14 after their loss to the Miami Dolphins, and the Tennessee Titans rose from a previous ranking of 24 up to 18 thanks to their 35-32 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jaguars saw no change as they still hold No. 20.

The Texans travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens at 12:00 p.m. CT from M&T Bank Stadium.
