Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have gotten off to a slow start in 2022. While being second in the NFC North, they currently sit at 3-5.

The Baltimore Ravens are finishing up one of the best off-seasons in the entire NFL.

The Houston Texans are in the middle of one of the biggest rebuilds in NFL history.

Regardless of what moves the Houston Texans make during the 2022 NFL offseason, they still will be fighting an uphill battle back into relevancy in the AFC South division.

There really is no way around it – it is amazing that the Houston Texans have one win this year.
