And each team has the same bye week as its Week 3 opponent, so if the season needs to be compressed that could be done by skipping Week 3 and moving those games to the various bye weeks.
So, if necessary, the NFL could shave the 16-game/17-week season down to a 14-game/14-week version without throwing the schedule too far out of whack (no division games lost, all teams have equal number of home/away games, only one game per team moved). Under that scenario, the Texans' schedule would look like this:
1. Colts
2. Raiders (@ Dolphins cancelled)
3. @ Ravens (@ Saints moved to bye)
4. @ Titans (Steelers cancelled)
5. Jaguars
6. Browns
7. @ Bucs
8. @ Saints (no bye, moved from Week 3)
9. @ Jaguars
10. Falcons
11. @ Bengals
12. Panthers
13. @ Colts
14. Titans
