Go back and re-read my post. There's a difference between the words "the" and "a".

"The" is the definitive article as in "the best defense in the league".

You substituted "the" for "a" as in "one of several". I wasn't debating whether the Texans had "a" top defense in the league, I was debating whether they had "the" top defense in the league, which is an open question when the season is only four weeks old and three of the teams they've played were not very good offensively, featuring young quarterbacks with weak supporting casts.
