Won a game they were supposed to win, and did so convincingly. Thought the Texans should have given stronger consideration to letting Savage play out the fourth quarter to keep Watson from taking a cheap hit. Team seems a bit snakebit on injuries lately.

Sloppy game by Watson and that was before the pic 6, so I'm sure glad this game was played here and not in Cleveland else it might not have been as comfortable a game for us.
More injuries: the outstanding undrafted rookie LB Dylan Cole is out for awhile, maybe season-ending but I sure hope not; LT Chris Clark reportedly suffered an injury to one of his calfs.
With all the injuries, & breaking in of the rookie QB to include lots of issues with the OLine led by the unexpected holdout of Duane Brown maybe 3-3 at the bye is not too bad.
Now we got a couple weeks to lick our wounds and then tee it up again for the long road trip up to Seattle.
