When we last left off dedicating bandwidth on this site to discuss Special Teams, the narrative was not exactly the most positive out there. At the near halfway mark, the Texans rated near the absolute bottom when it came to special teams. If you went by DVOA calculations, the Texans rated 31st, and at one point during the season, the squad managed to rate dead last. While the Texans were expected to rate just about dead last in every known category, there was a modicum of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, the team might be somewhat adequate in that department.
