The Houston Texans are beyond laughably bad. They may be beyond the tear-inducing stage, too. They've achieved perhaps the lowest low: We're nearly through Week 7 and not quite at midseason yet, and the Texans are completely irrelevant.

When exactly did that happen Sunday? There were several options during a 41-7 drubbing from the Miami Dolphins.

Personally, I'll go with the entire first half, when the Dolphins scored all of their points. That came from the same Dolphins offense that had been moving along at a putrid 20.6 points per game prior to Week 7 (24th).

But giving up an 85-yard rushing touchdown to Dolphins running back Lamar Miller is also a fine choice for when the Texans truly imploded. Incredibly, that was one of four 50-plus-yard touchdowns allowed by Houston during the first half. That led to an ugly-yardage scoreboard over those first two quarters, with the Texans outgained 392-65.

And to throw more gas on this burning fire, Texans running back Arian Foster tore his Achilles during garbage time, and his season is over, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

If the misery continues Texans head coach Bill O'Brien will get the most obvious mercy firing in recent NFL history.
