Not many people expected the Denver Broncos (6-5) and the Houston Texans (6-5) to be vying for a playoff spot during offseason, but the surprise package teams will have a chance to boost their prospects against each other in Week 13.
The Broncos enter Sunday’s game as the hottest team in the NFL, currently riding on a five-game winning streak after beating an injury-riddled Cleveland Browns side 29-12. They just keep winning games, and are doing so against some of the best teams in the NFL.
The Texans, meanwhile, saw their three-game winning streak come to an abrupt end in a close 21-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Houston weren't able to clinch first place in the AFC South, they still remain in contention for the playoffs and can continue to make the climb against a red-hot Broncos side.

Texans and Broncos rosters & injury reports
Houston Texans team news
The Houston Texans are dealing with a laundry list of injuries to keep track of. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed on Wednesday that offensive lineman Tytus Howard will miss the remainder of the season because of a knee injury. Howard will undergo surgery and there is apparently no timeline for his return to football activities.
The injury is a serious setback for the Texans, who are making a playoff push in the competitive AFC despite being beset by injuries to their offensive line throughout the season. Rookie second-round pick Juice Scruggs got his first NFL action in place of Howard, and could continue in the same vein here.
Houston are also hopeful kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn will be healthy enough to come off the IR when he’s eligible in Week 14.
