this would be a cake walk for Oakland except the fact they have to start their 3rd stringer who has never started an NFL game

The game between the two teams in Mexico City wasn't exactly a cake walk. Oakland had to come from behind to win that night with Derek Carr, and the Texans had two officiating gaffes go against them. One of which cost them a touch down, and the other which cost them a first down.
As much as many dismiss the Texans at time due to their woeful QB's (myself included), they do generally find ways to be pretty competitive. Even without JJ Watt, their defence has been pretty good this year. Houston has a good team in every aspect except that they can't seem to find a guy who can even consistently be a game manager at QB. Brian Hoyer gave it to them for a short stretch last year, but they have struggled to find a singular guy to do that since Matt Schwabb fell apart.
