2. Is 0-4 a possibility?
Recall that Houston started 0-3 in 2018, and were a missed Ka’imi Fairbairn field goal away from starting 0-3-1 if things hadn’t gone their way in overtime in Week 4 in Indianapolis.
The Texans face the Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, and Vikings in the first four weeks of the season. It’s an away-home switching off, but the Texans get three playoff teams right off the bat with two of the previous league MVPs in the first two weeks. 0-4 is a distinct possibility given the difficulty of the schedule at this juncture.
Also recall the Texans rebounded from an 0-3 hole to peel off a nine-game winning streak and save their season. There is a reason why “September’s contenders turn to December’s pretenders” is prevalent in pro football.
