For the first time in a long time, when it comes to the Houston Texans, it feels good to say the following — the bye week sucked! I hated having to wait two weeks for the next Texans game! This is what happens when you have the brightest young star in the league at quarterback, and the team has won three out of its last four games. You want the next game to get here NOW!
So here we are, in Week 8, with the Texans currently sitting on the fringe of the playoff hunt, and having one of the easiest remaining schedules, according to the current win-loss records of all 32 teams. DeMeco Ryans and his crew are in a phenomenal spot, with statistically the best chance to build further momentum this weekend, as they take on the winless Carolina Panthers.
What was billed before the season as a game whose sole intrigue was the first and second overall picks in the draft facing off against each other, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, has turned into a game where the Texans can further notify the rest of the NFL that the Texans aren't respecting any old arrangements from 2021 and 2022.
As always, we've got things to watch for in this game. Here are the four of the utmost importance and intrigue to me:In DeMeco Ryans' rookie season as a head coach, we still have several"firsts" to experience. For the first time as a head coach, Ryans' team will be coming off a bye week.
