The injury-riddled Houston Texans are just 4-6, but playing them apparently takes quite a toll on those opponents. All nine teams who have played the week following their game with the Texans have lost that subsequent game.

It seems crazy but it’s true.

Starting with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, the pattern has no breaks in it.

After defeating Houston in Week 1, Jacksonville lost in Week 2 37-16 to Tennessee.

Lesson No. 1: No matter the outcome with the Texans, playing Houston takes a lot out of opposing teams. Every single team scored under its season average point total the next week.

Lesson No. 2: Bet on the Jaguars to beat the Cardinals, Houston’s Week 11 opponent, this Sunday.
