When the preseason schedule came out, it seemed only fitting that the Texans would square off with the Saints on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
The storm changed the lives of so many and had a lasting impact on the Texans organization.
The final Texans preseason game that year was in Tampa, a few days after the storm devastated the Gulf Coast. The Texans decided to hold a telethon and radiothon during the broadcasts to raise money for Katrina victims.
Bob and Janice McNair stepped up to match gifts, up to one million dollars. Texans employees and sponsors worked the phones as fans made donations.
