Not all that long ago, the Houston Texans were dead in the water—an 0-3 team coming off a 4-12 season that had just lost at home to a bad New York Giants squad.
The Texans were done. Through. Finished.
Now, after downing the reeling Miami Dolphins 42-23 on Thursday night, the Texans are one of the hottest teams in the National Football League. A team with an explosive offense and a punishing defense. Winners of five in a row, the Texans are all alone in first place in the AFC South and look like the clear class of the division.
