Baltimore has had some pretty darn good performances that somehow resulted in losses and some really good ones in their wins. If they can somehow get the ship righted where these good performances result in consistent wins, they’ll start to play a bigger factor in the wild card race.

The second is the Houston Texans. They have the makings of a team ready to make a playoff push, but aren’t exactly a team that’s battle tested for playoff runs (from top to bottom, ownership, front office, coaches, players and fans all haven’t done this; well the fans have, but that was like 15 years ago or more). They were on a roll, but ran into the Colts. As long as the idea of falling behind in the division race doesn’t faze them, they’ll be pushing for a wild card spot.
