Alright, I have to admit I didn’t expect this game to be as close as it was, and I was all but certain the Saints were going to miss the last second field goal. For a team that should have been blown out, this might be the best opening game loss in Texans history.
First off, let’s take a second to celebrate some of the “what went well” from last night’s game:
- Whitney Mercilus is back baby! Having moved into his natural role at ROLB, vacated by the fleecing of Jadeveon Clowney, Mercilus seemed rejuvenated, putting forth his best effort since his 2017 injury.
