On a seven-game win streak with victories over four potential playoff rosters, are the Houston Texans among the top five teams in the NFL entering their weekend getway out west to take on the Los Angeles Chargers?

Nope. Instead, Houston moves outside the top five because of a close call against a bad roster.

Fresh off a 23-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Texans sit at 10-5 entering Week 17’s battle on the road. They’re still a half-game out of first place, but bolstering a No. 1 defense in total yards and scoring has made the case for them as perhaps the most complete roster in the AFC South.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who clinched a playoff berth on Monday following the Indianapolis Colts’ loss against the San Francisco 49ers, still own the AFC South division title and could clinch home-field advantage with a sweep to close out the season, but their offense has been an eye-sore at times. As for the Texans, even though they remain in second place for the division, they once again lost a bit of traction in Nate Davis’ latest NFL power rankings for USA TODAY Sports, moving up three spots from No. 4 to No. 7.

“They escaped with a win … but better learn a lesson from what was a near-total letdown against the lowly Raiders,” Davis wrote.

Houston picked off Geno Smith on the second drive of the game to take a 7-0 lead. They didn’t find the end zone again until late in the fourth quarter when C.J. Stroud connected with Dalton Schultz for a 2-yard touchdown.

As for the Chargers, another win to clinch a postseason bid has the Bolts gunning for perhaps the top seed in the AFC. As for Davis’ rankings, he has Los Angeles at No. 10, largely because of the offensive consistencies seen throughout the regular season.

“Justin Herbert’s toughness and greatness have perhaps obscured the fact that, since the Bolts’ Week 12 bye, they haven’t allowed 20 points to any of the opponents they’ve vanquished on their four-game winning streak,” Davis wrote. “Extend it to six, and LA takes the AFC West.”

Across the AFC South, the Colts took a jump forward behind 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers. Even in a loss, having stability at the most important position proved to be enough to move Indianapolis from No. 22 to No. 18.

“You’re telling us they’re about to host a Monday night game in their ‘Indiana Nights” uniforms with 44-year-old Philip Rivers at the controls, but there’s no NFL script?” Davis wrote. “The jig’s up.”

Unlike Houston, Jacksonville moved up five spots, going from No. 7 to No. 3 after a dominant win on the road over the then-No. 1 Denver Broncos. With wins over the Colts and Titans, the Jaguars would take first place in the AFC barring a loss from the New England Patriots.

“They’ve won six in a row, but QB Trevor Lawrence has truly been in the zone over his last four games − with a 120.8 passer rating during that stretch while accounting for 14 TDs,” Davis wrote. “The defense has also added another 10 takeaways in those four recent victories. Any number of teams could emerge from a muddled AFC field − but, after a decisive win in Denver, the Jags are certainly playing as well as anyone in the conference right now.”

As for the Titans, they moved up six spots following a win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Was it against Patrick Mahomes? Nope, but at the same time that’s not the message people are looking for with a team struggling to find a surge.

“With his first three-game string of 100-yard rushing games, RB Tony Pollard is on his way to a fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season … though he’s never cracked 1,100,” Davis wrote.

Elsewhere around the league, the Los Angeles Rams are ranked No. 1 and the Seattle Seahawks are ranked No. 2 as the two leaders toward a Super Bowl run. To view the complete NFL power rankings going into Week 16, visit USATODAY.com.
