The AFC South division was regarded to be one of the worst in the NFL heading into the 2023 regular season, with just the Jacksonville Jaguars being a force to be reckoned with out of the four clubs in the league.
That hasn’t been the case, with three of the four AFC South clubs sitting at 8-6 on the season entering Week 16.
The Tennessee Titans are the only team in the division that has struggled this season, as they are currently 5-9 and have already been eliminated from playoff contention.

The Houston Texans, who have been the division’s most surprising team this season, got some good news ahead of their battle against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, with wide receiver Nico Collins announcing that he’ll be ready for Sunday’s game, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. Houston Collins is having a career year with the Texans this season, thanks in large part to forging some much-needed chemistry with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud throughout the 2023 NFL season.
Collins has 1,004 yards and six touchdowns on 60 receptions in 12 games played, both of which are career highs in all three categories.
Collins’ return to the field for the Texans will be a positive step for the team as it continues to compete for an AFC playoff spot.
Unfortunately, as of Thursday, Stroud was still in concussion protocol and is deemed questionable for Sunday’s game against the Browns.
