Should Texans fans be rooting for a loss this weekend? This sports writer thinks so.

If there were ever a time for Lovie Smith to rouse his players with a thunderous speech, this is it. With just one game left in the regular season — and the season, period, for the Texans — this is no time to hold back. This team needs to lay it all on the line this weekend, give it their all in Indianapolis against a very mediocre Colts team.

But, we still need one more embarrassing loss to wrap this up. Why, you might ask? Because, despite the agony of this season, they still have not wrapped up the worst record in the NFL, which would secure for them the No. 1 pick in the draft. Chicago are nearly equal to the Texans in futility. The only thing that stands in the way of a 3-14 record for the Bears is a Minnesota Viking team that leads the division at 12-4.

Let's underscore here that the Texans have been one of the most rudderless teams at the quarterback position in NFL history. Only once in their history have they had a QB with the kind of talent that gets you to Super Bowls. Unfortunately, twenty-something lawsuits later, he is in Cleveland and the Texans are left with Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel, who Smith has been playing together . They fact they eked out two wins is remarkable.
