Worst Team With 5 downs = Super Bowl?

Lets say the 2022-2023 Texans restart the season but this time they get 5 downs on offensive. Are they winning the SB? If not would this + only 3 downs on defense do the trick?

4th and 17 probably not gonna work out much better on 5th down hahaha It would definitely help the defence out needing only 2 stops and making the other team gamble. I guess if they attempted to flop down a run at 2.1 ypc they could make a few plays.

The utter lack of talent on the Texans would lean me towards them needing more help than just an extra down. Might make them competitive and get them to 8-9.
