The Houston Texans were the trendy pick at the start of the 09' season. The Houston Texans never had expectations this high before in the franchises 7 year history. I guess they have the right to set expectations this high after a solid performance in 2008, with a very young team.
While the Indianapolis Colts still own the AFC South division, the Texans are looking for a wild card birth and make the playoffs for the first time ever. The Texans schedule is a favorable one at that because they play many sub-par NFL teams.
On the other side of the ball there's a ton of potential with some young studs in Mario Williams, DeMeco Ryans, Dunta Robinson and Amobi Okoye. If they can get it right, results in Houston will come.
Whatever the case may be, the Texans looked revitalized during their week two game against the Titans in Tennessee. Matt Schaub looked as good as he's ever looked, with over 350 passing yards and a total of 4 TD passes.
Andre Johnson once again looked like the best wide receiver in the NFL, and despite the absence of Kevin Walter, the offense was more than efficient thanks to the fill-in role of Jacoby Jones.
Looking at the week 2 result for the Houston Texans shows that the team was able to rebound from a tough game, playing very efficient football in Tennessee against the Titans. Everything clicked offensively for the Titans during their week 2 game. Matt Schaub had over 350 yards in the air at quarterback and reached the end zone four times. Andre Johnson was phenomenal at wide receiver, and backup WR Jacoby Jones did a nice job filling in for Kevin Walter.
If the Texans fall behind in games they will need to throw the ball more often, and teams will adjust and keep a tight lid on Andre Johnson.
Every year teams rise that were thought of to be mediocre, teams fall that were thought of being very good. It will be interesting to see how the Texans respond to expectations for the first time in the franchises history. To be the team, they must beat the team - that team now is the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South Division.
