The Houston Texans are 2-10 on the year after their 31-0 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13 at NRG Stadium.
Even though the Texans are in the midst of another double-digit loss season, their second straight for the first time since 2005-06, there are still some elements on the team that don’t reflect their record.
