2016 Schedule Taking Shape

[HPF Bob]

Barring last-minute changes, the 2016 Texans opponents appear to be coming into place:

Home-and-Away (AFC South): Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Tennessee
AFC West: Home: Kansas City, San Diego - Road: Denver, Oakland
NFC North: Home: Detroit, Chicago - Road: Green Bay, Minnesota
Champion of AFC East: New England (likely road)
Champion of AFC North: Cincinnati (likely home)

NFC North home/road based on 2012 schedule.
AFC home road opponents based on 2013 schedule.

Should the Texans lose and the unthinkable happens, the Texans would get the Jets and Steelers instead of the Patriots and Bengals. Everything else is predetermined and not based on division standings.

Note there will be 4 opportunities next year for the Texans to possibly play in the cold and snow.
