The last time the Houston Texans won three games in a row, the world looked differently.
In 2018, the Texans started 0-3 under Bill O’Brien. There were great expectations as the club was entering its second season with their highly touted first-round quarterback from a season ago. How could all of this talent struggle out of the gate?
Houston rattled off nine straight wins to correct their record. With a more respectable 9-3 mark, the Texans finished 11-5 and collected another AFC South title.
The sugarplums of the playoffs may not yet be in the minds of Houston sports fans, but a win over the Atlanta Falcons would get the talks going of how accelerated the timeline is on this rebuild.
