The Houston Texans opened a lot of eyes on Saturday.
From long touchdown runs that necessitated oxygen after the fact to a resounding defensive performance over an “elite” quarterback, Houston played a complete game in its first playoff win since 2019. It certainly seems like DeMeco Ryans and CJ Stroud are building something special.
One of the only people who might have seen this coming is Texans legend J.J. Watt. The now-retired, future Hall of Fame defensive end still closely watches his old team. And after Saturday’s dominant team performance, Watt couldn’t help but be impressed.
More importantly, he was so happy that the city of Houston got to enjoy its NFL team playing this well:
So damn happy.
Houston, you deserve this.
🤘🏼

It’s safe to say that if these ascending Texans have won Watt over, then they’re definitely something right. Congratulations, Houston. You’ve already got the best endorsement possible.
