Don’t Look Now, But…

What is this strange sensation?

Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse, a survey of fans across the NFL, powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Texans fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.

Your Houston Texans are off this week. In theory, that means nothing that happens on Sunday should affect how Texans fans feel about our beloved team. Does that mean I expect the confidence rate of those surveyed to remain static next week? Of course not.

In the meantime, know that Texans fans are a full 20% more bullish about the fortunes of their squad after Deshaun Watson & Co. beat the Jaguars by 23 points in London last weekend.

The Texans’ next three games are against the Ravens (in Baltimore), Colts (on Thursday Night Football at NRG Stadium), and the Patriots (on Sunday Night Football at NRG Stadium). If they win two of those three games, are the 2019 Houston Texans legitimate Super Bowl contenders in your eyes?
