The Denver Broncos dominated the Houston Texans in Week 14. Whose stock went up on the week, and whose took a nosedive? We discuss here.

The Houston Texans opened as a heavy favorite over the Denver Broncos in Week 14.

Based on the performance by the Broncos on Sunday, you never would have guessed it. The Broncos defeated the Texans 38-24 on Sunday in a game that was truly never even that close.

The Broncos put the heat on the Texans early, and the Texans were never able to close the gap created by Denver. Now, the Broncos sit at 5-8, possibly reaching closer to a .500 season. The Texans’ loss may make the divisional race in the AFC South a lot more interesting, with both the Titans and the Colts not looming far behind.

Let’s break down this week’s stock report, and discuss who is on the rise, and whose stock is sinking.
