Yes, that Houston Texans should focus on the NFL playoffs. They should continue to focus on winning the AFC South and improving from 6-4.
But fans are people. Curiosity will always pique a person's interest. This was certainly a topic of conversation in some circles around the Texans during their two-game losing streak. With Kenyon Green out for the second straight game this year, addressing the interior offensive line appears to be a top priority for Houston.
Or is it security? Maybe it's tackle? Some would now argue that Stefon Diggs is entering free agency and the wide receiver has moved up in the rankings.
