NFL early slate: Broncos vs. Texans score, highlights, news, inactives and live updates

Week 13 features an exciting matchup between the surging Denver Broncos and thriving Houston Texans, both vying for a playoff spot.

Week 13 brings an unexpected and potentially thrilling matchup between the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans. Despite six NFL teams being on bye, this game promises to be one of the most interesting of the week.

The Broncos have defied expectations and are currently the most surprising team in the NFL. After a rocky 1-5 start, including a humiliating 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins, they have turned things around and won their last five games. This includes impressive victories over the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Sean Payton has instilled a sense of confidence and determination in the team, leading to their remarkable turnaround.

On the other hand, the Texans have been thriving, thanks in part to the dynamic duo of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and wide receiver Tank Dell. Despite a tough loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12, they are expected to put up a strong fight against the Broncos. However, facing Denver will not be the easy romp they may have anticipated earlier in the season.

With both teams currently standing at 6-5, this game is crucial for their playoff aspirations. A win would greatly improve their chances of making it to the postseason, while a loss would bring them back to .500 and make a playoff appearance even more challenging.

The outcome of this game is uncertain, and fans are eager to see which team will emerge victorious. Stay updated with Yahoo Sports for the latest news, scores, and highlights from the early NFL slate in Week 13.
