Statistical landmarks seemingly held by a handful of players.
The NFL released the 2022 version of the Record and Fact Book yesterday and with it came the updated list of Houston Texan franchise records. It’s should come as a surprise to no one that a handful of names dominate the list.
Arian Foster, Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson hold a collective 14 franchise records between them. Such a shame the wheels came off that bus so fast…

Does anything about this list or any of these specific records surprise you? I thought for sure J.J. Watt held the sacks in a game record, but Connor Barwin holds that one.
