Two key games remain on the schedule for the #1 pick - Houston at the suddenly-hot Jaguars on Thursday and Atlanta-Washington the following week. A win or a tie will knock those out of contention. Tampa Bay (at 3-9) seems to be situated best to take over the bottom spot if Houston slips up and wins.
I don't think Houston will win any tiebreakers since the team with the worst (read easiest) strength of schedule is the tiebreaker.
Three overall #1 picks in 12 years. And the first two (Carr, Mario) aren't even with the team today but the 2003 first-rounder still is. Andre is to the Texans what Craig Biggio was to the Astros. Others come and go but Andre stays around and produces. Made his 900th NFL reception yesterday.
