It’s weird how we learn more about success and failure in defeat than we do in victory. The Houston Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 37-17 on Sunday, but it is hard to see how the Texans could repeat that result again if they tried. Victory is often that way. It involves lucky breaks and bounces that you simply can’t account for. Andrew Beck might not have a moment in his life like that ever again, but it happened this Sunday and that is what matters.
Still, when we look at the numbers we can see some things that point to victory.
