HOUSTON — The Texas heat is no joke.
The Detroit Lions and Houston Texans held their first of two joint practices Wednesday and it was a far cry from what we've seen the last two-plus weeks in Allen Park.
Not from a work standpoint. Lions coach Matt Patricia and Texans coach Bill O'Brien come from the same Patriots coaching tree, so the structure and tempo of practice is a lot like what the Lions have done all along.
But as for the conditions the Lions and Texans practiced in, well, to call it sweltering is to be kind.
