MATT WESTON:
Ahhhhhh yesssss. This is Houston Texans football. Those previous years, the glowing autumns under Gary Kubiak, and the bare minimum Bill O’Brien scratched out of this roster in the afterglow, has once again fruited the Houston Texans football we grew up with, that we are accustomed to. 2020. 2017. 2013. 2010. This is Houston Texans football. 12-4. 11-5. 10-6. These are the outliers. This season is a return to normalcy.
This season was unlike those previous ones though. This season was the damn finally bursting after two offseasons of hilarious roster mismanagement, absurd resource allocation, a failure to understand value, and pushing out more than what was pushed in, all in the name of culture, and being tough smart and dependable, instead of what really matters—being talented.
