The Texans can lose up to two games and still make the playoffs. Winning the AFC South for the third straight season? It's much more complicated.

The Arizona Cardinals have lost five straight games and are 1-10 in their last 11 since starting the season 2-0. Their next opponents are the Houston Texans, and that might be the most overwhleming matchup of the year. Why? The Texans have the best defense in the NFL.

The National Football League has indefinitely suspended Javier Loya, a Houston energy executive and minority owner of the Houston Texans, after investigating whether he violated its personal-conduct policy.
