The Houston Texans won their second straight AFC South title. So what happens next? We have a playoff seeding scenario you should take a look at.

Houston is currently No. 4 but could potentially move up to No. 2 at the end of the season.

To become No. 2, the Texans would have to:

• Win all three remaining games
• AND the Bills (11-3) have lost two of their last three
• AND that Pittsburgh (10-4) loses at least once

But the Texans could also get to number 2

• They have won two of their last three
• AND that the Bills lose all three
• AND the Steelers lose two of their last three

Buffalo finishes this Sunday with a home game against the Patriots, a home game the following week against the Jets and then the season finale at New England. The Jets and Patriots have won a combined seven games in 2024.

Houston beat Buffalo in early October and has a head-to-head tiebreaker if both teams finish with 12-5 or 11-6 records.

Getting the 3-seed, which the Steelers currently hold, isn’t quite that difficult. Houston could achieve it with:

• Three wins
• AND a Pittsburgh loss
• OR two billing losses

The Texans could also be the No. 3 pick if:

• Houston beats Baltimore
• AND the Steelers lost all three remaining contests
• AND the Ravens lose to the Browns
