The Texans’ comeback was impressive, but it was just another instance of them barely beating an inferior opponent. They won all 5 of their games decided by a touchdown or less last season, 3 of which came against the Jets, Jaguars, and Lions, who were among the worst teams in the NFL last season. The 2013 Chargers are in that group. The good news is they’ll get Antonio Smith back from season this week, but the Texans are only contenders because they’re in the AFC.
