Watt was amazing. He has a motor like a guy trying to make the 53 man roster. It is a real treat to watch. There is not a defensive player that comes close to him for impacting a football game.
Swearinger was really good. It's a shame he purposely got himself a rep for dirty/rough play. Now he gets flagged for perfect form tackles.
And Cushing just adds something beyond the plays he makes. Great to see him out there.
The offense was bad, but bad was all it needed to be, so I'll reserve judgment. I was surprised by how much empty backfield we used.
And it sure is nice to have great ST play. In a normal Texans season we would have played the Redskins even on Offense and Defense and lost. This year we played them even and won by 11 due to the ST.
All in all I would say, few surprises, Watt is maybe better than ever, and I am starting to really believe O'Brien can coach.
