The week leading up to Brock Osweiler’s nationally-televised return to Denver has featured a litany of inane talking in circles about things that largely do not matter. One thing that hasn’t been discussed nearly as much - the actual football that’s going to be played.
Houston has of course been straight up dreadful on the road this season. Granted, both road games were against top teams, but this is an area where the Texans are absolutely failing and have been failing. Bill O’Brien’s Texans are largely inept on the road against good teams. If “9-7 is not the bar,” as O’Brien said earlier in the season, then it might be a good time to pull another shocker out of his back pocket as Houston did in Cincinnati on a Monday night last season.
