As we sat around for the Houston Texans’ bye week for the last 15 days, coming off of two very lopsided wins over Tennessee and Baltimore, the big question that we all pondered — were those two wins real? Was the improvement actual improvement by the Texans or a precipitous drop in opponent quality.
On Monday night, late in the evening In Seattle, we got our answer. The Texans’ two wins in Weeks 4 and 5 were counterfeit. They were fraudulent. If I can quote some mafia Italian, they were FUGAZI. The Texans are the same disorganized, undisciplined, poorly coached outfit that they were in Weeks 1, 2, and 3.
The Seattle Seahawks beat the Texans on Monday night by a score of 27-19, in a game that was only a one score game because the Seahawks seemed to want to let the Texans hang around, with several careless turnovers in the second half. The Texans acted with the killer instinct of a field mouse trying to avoid a hawk.
The Texans now sit at 2-4, but their record is way down the list of issues with this team. Right now, their offense is a disjointed mess, with no solutions in sight. The mistakes this team makes look like bad attempts at TikTok challenges. Their head coach might not be a good head coach. Oh yeah, and now Nico Collins is concussed.
Let’s get to winners and losers:
WINNERS
4. Will Anderson
As this game was sliding into the toilet throughout the second half, the one guy who was still showing up was Will Anderson. When the Texans offense was running stagnant all night, the one guy who went and got the Texans a touchdown was Anderson, on an end zone strip sack of Sam Darnold, and the fumble recovery for the score.
3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
JSN came into this game leading the league in receiving yards, and this was after nearly the entire NFL had a one game jump on him, having played on Thursday and Sunday. He lived up to the hype, with 8 catches for 123 yards and a touchdown, beating All Pro Derek Stingley in the process.
2. George Springer
We interrupt the coverage of this gawd awful football game to play a little game of “remember when.” Remember when George Springer used to hit home runs like this for the Houston Astros?
