If the Texans want a legitimate shot at making the playoffs, they're going to have to beat the Giants on Sunday. There's usually a team every year that starts the season 0-2 and still makes the postseason. Going 0-3 on the other hand, is a much more difficult task. 1998 was the last time an 0-3 team made the playoffs in the NFL.
The Astros and Rockets are clearly run very well, so the Texans have some catching up to do.
ESPN insider, DJ Bien-Aime shares his thoughts on the amount of injuries the Texans are dealing with and how that could prevent them from securing a victory over the Packers this weekend.

The Texans may have to start their third string linebacker this week, Neville Hewitt, if both Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o are unable to play.
Plus, corner Kamari Lassiter is not likely to play in a matchup against several quality Green Bay receivers.
