On Monday, Texans Wire ran an article on reasons to be negative about the Houston Texans in 2020. Now, here is the counterpoint.
1. The hard part comes early
The first four games for the Texans are brutal. Texans start on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. Then, they take on the Baltimore Ravens at home, go back on the road for a Watt brothers battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then return to NRG Stadium for a showdown with the Minnesota Vikings.
It’s possible the Texans could start 2020 0-for — the question is how long does it persist?
Even if it takes the Texans three games to get off the schneid, after the showdown with Minnesota, the Texans have four more games against three playoff teams from a year ago, and three of those games are at NRG: the Packers, Patriots, and Titans. It ought to be possible for the Texans to catch a winning streak in October and November that would correct their rocky start and put them in position to contend for the AFC South.
