Even though these teams have the same record, the Texans have been the impressive of the two teams. Their lone loss came in New Orleans, with Drew Brees healthy on a last second field goal. To me, that game did more to bump their stock than lower it. Houston bounced back with a narrow win over the Jaguars, who appear to once again have a stout defense. Deshaun Watson is establishing himself as one of the best building blocks in the league. He looked like an MVP candidate in Week 1, throwing three touchdowns on 8.9 yards per attempt and nearly leading the Texans to a come from behind win.

The Chargers look like they are up to their usual ways. In both of their games, they have blown late leads of what appeared to be games they already won. Against the Colts adjusting to life without Andrew Luck, the Chargers blew a late lead and had to resort to winning in overtime. Last week against the Lions, the Chargers gave up a late touchdown to lose a lead. After driving all the way downfield, Phillip Rivers threw an interception in the end zone to effectively end the game. This sort of play always seems to hand over this franchise, making the Chargers a difficult team to trust.
