There's been speculation that the reason James Harden and Russell Westbrook have not joined the team in Orlando was because the players might have tested positive for COVID-19. Now we know that is indeed the case for Russell Westbrook. Westbrook went to Twitter on Monday and said he tested positive but is feeling well.

Earlier Monday morning Colin Cowherd and Joy Taylor talked about Harden and Westbrook remaining in Houston and had a conversation about what could be keeping them in H-Town. We now have the answer when it comes to Westbrook, and we'll see if news comes out about Harden next. You can watch Cowherd and Taylor's conversation about the Rockets below.

The Texans defense came through once again on Sunday, as they were able to hold the Dolphins to just twelve points, helping to secure a 20-12 win for Houston.

Sunday's victory, paired with a Colts loss, also clinched another division title for Houston, which guarantees they'll host a home playoff game. This is significant because Houston has played much better at home, and given some of the NFL's best quarterbacks fits.

However, the offense just hasn't clicked consistently this year, for a variety of reasons.

With all this in mind, how far can this defense take the Texans?

Be sure to watch the video above as the crew from ESPN Houston's Gallant and George weigh in.
