Could this be it-the first competitive Thursday night game of the 2014 NFL season? The Colts visit Houston as just a three-point favorite, and both teams are 3-2, so at the risk of being the Mary Swanson to your Lloyd Christmas, I'm saying there's a chance.
The Houston Texans are looking better in 2014 and the Indianapolis Colts have turned things around after a slow start to the year. Former NFL quarterback and CBS analyst Chris Simms took time to talk to me about the upcoming AFC South battle on Thursday Night Football, and he had some great things to say.
The Minnesota Vikings have a long tradition of having very good defensive tackles. They drafted Sharrif Floyd in the first round of the 2013 draft in hopes that he can continue the trend.

Let's take a look at who the five worst teams will be heading into the 2014 NFL season.

This is yet another "bizarro" season in the NFL but it is in a different way than it was last season when random bad teams were trashing good teams. Now, there is a lot of unexpected news coming out of different NFL cities and the stories may not be explained any time soon.
Teams are competing for playoff positioning now, as a number of them believe they've already got a clear-cut path to the postseason. It always appears though, that it is the teams that have next to nothing to lose that are playing at their best as the season begins to round a corner toward the end.
There is a lot of blame going around the NFL lately and fingers are being pointed in just about every direction imaginable. One player though is taking matters into his own hands and promising to do something that could take him to another level.
The NFL is full of ups and downs, and it is sometimes quite amazing how quickly a player can go from one to the other. It's a league where tomorrow is never promised and you're not in the driver's seat just because you played professional football.
Injuries are truly crippling some teams in the NFL as the season begins its ride toward the playoffs. One player will finally be on the field for his new team and he'll ironically face his old team.

The Houston Texans are coming off of their best season in franchise history, and they want to advance upon that in 2013. That all starts with the San Diego Chargers in the season opener, and this Houston squad looks even better than the one from last year.
The Houston Texans have long seen their offense strike when the iron is hot and consistently run up the score, but they've needed the defense to keep the lead. With some players leaving and others are not living up to the hype, J.J. Watt brings the whole package to a team that is getting better every season.
The San Diego Chargers will face the Houston Texans on Monday Night for their season opener of the 2013 on September 9, 2013.
