As the Houston Texans meander into their bye week for Week 9, there are a lot of things to reflect on as far as how the season has gone.
It may not have been perfect but considering the challenges that this team has gone through over the past eight games, the fact that this team is 5-3 is nothing short of amazing.
With a slew of injuries — including the season-ending one to J.J. Watt — along with a stagnant offense and miffs of special teams at times, it’s remarkable that this team still has risen above the murkiness of the AFC South picture.
