The Houston Texans season has been a tale of two teams. The team started the season off on a three-game losing streak. Doubt and anxiety were setting in and many were ready to write off the Texans. However, the team then turned things around and have now ripped off six wins in a row.
The team is ultimately the same, personnel-wise. There have been a couple peripheral roster moves and then the Demaryius Thomas trade. Aside from that, the improvements are simply due to the team getting healthy and getting more reps.
Expectations were extremely high coming into the season, probably too high due to the level of rust that was bound to exist.
