A few minutes after the Giants had completed a 27-22 victory over the Texans on Sunday at NRG Stadium, head coach Pat Shurmur huddled his team together to emphasize how his players had overcome the adversity of an 0-2 start to capture a win on the road against a team as desperate as they were.
“The one thing I’ve always known is you guys are tough and I’ve always known you’re gritty, and now we made enough plays to beat a pretty good football team,” Shurmur told his troops.
