Reasons to be optimistic after the Texans’ loss at Miami – by Jerome Solomon, Houston Chronicle
"Five reasons to be optimistic about the Texans. (Unfurrow your brow, I can come up with only four.)1. This team will not settle for mediocrity.It tries so hard. Until three weeks ago in Atlanta, the Texans had never been behind 42-0 in a game. Well, apparently they enjoyed the positive press after that so much that they went out Sunday and fell behind 41-0 in the first half, the franchise’s worst halftime deficit. It takes maximum effort for a team that has been this bad to come up with a way to be historically bad. Impressive."
