The Texans began the 2018 regular season with three straight losses and a whole lot of questions. They ended the regular season in triumphant fashion, beating the Jaguars 20-3 to clinch the AFC South title.
Houston (11-5) will win the division by at least a game over the Colts and Titans. Those two 9-6 teams meet in the Sunday night game.

It's Houston's third AFC South title in four years, and fifth overall.
With the victory, the Texans clinch at least the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs, pending the outcome of the Chiefs-Raiders and Chargers-Broncos games later Sunday. The Texans could clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with losses by the Chiefs and Chargers; the Texans would hold the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Chiefs.
