There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The Texans never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Paul to cover a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
