Yes, it’s just one game, but at least this group showed potential to improve and to give fans something to talk about heading into next season.
We’ll have to wait until next season to see what the local teams took away from from this year’s respective brushes with greatness. Also, the Texans' win likely means no No. 1 overall draft pick, but fans shouldn't be too mad.
The Texans actually showed some signs of life this week, but ultimately were topped by the Seattle Seahawks 33-13 on Sunday at NRG Stadium.
