Houston Texans: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#2)

Last week: 2 (+0)

Record: 2-0

Those might have been the easiest opening two games ever. The Texans pounded on the Dolphins and Jaguars, outscoring them 57-17 and outgaining them 748-392. Now for a real test as they head to Denver to take on Peyton Manning and that no huddle offense in thin air. The Texans may be untested, but they still look like one of the best teams in the league, as they did preseason.
