The Texans spent the morning working on 'situational football'.
In the air-conditioned Houston Methodist Training Center, head coach Bill O'Brien and the team went through the day's work a little differently.
"Working more situational football, trying to help these guys understand the situation of the game
better, trying to help our coaching staff continue to be on the same page in the different situations of the game," O'Brien said.
Instead of going through the normal regiment of practice, O'Brien would put the offense, defense and special teams in situations they don't typically experience.
He'd call out a down, distance, and clock time, and the unit would have to react.
