Late last year, many of the Texans were seen around the building wearing t-shirts with the word GRIT emblazoned on the back. There’s no win that I can remember that epitomized GRIT more than the Texans win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Think about it…rookie quarterback starting for the first time, all three tight ends out of the game, no starting guard, two wide receivers out as well, starting inside linebacker out, yet the Texans found a way to GRIT out a 13-9 win over the Bengals.
Here are my observations.
1. In three consecutive games against the Bengals, the Texans have scored, 10, 12 and 13 points and won all three.
