Texans punter in midseason form with NSFW taunt of Steelers

The Houston Texans have no shortage of swagger in 2024, with quarterback C.J. Stroud and an electric receiving corps leading one of the most confident offenses in the NFL as the regular season approaches. That mentality seems to have spread to Houston's special teams unit, too.

Texans punter Tommy Townsend uttered quite the NSFW taunt toward the Pittsburgh Steelers in Friday's 20-12 win at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Steelers return man Quez Watkins muffed a punt in the second quarter before it was recovered by the Houston, and after Townsend sprinted downfield, he didn't hesitate with his words for the opposing squad.
