Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is maintaining his vigilance after missing a pair of kicks during a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. And he's relying on the adages of former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant.
Fairbairn has been watching Kobe Bryant videos for encouragement since missing an extra point and a field goal during a loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
"He talks about not taking misses as failures, but as learning experiences," Fairbairn said Wednesday. "I'm trying to do that and listen to Black Mamba. I have to look forward to the challenges of the sort.
