The Cinderella season is now over; after the Houston Texans fell to the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs, they have wrapped up the season and are ready to move on to the next. When you factor in what happened this last season and how it really wasn’t supposed to happen, I’d be ready to move on to the next season, too, as the Texans will likely only get better.
The Texans weren’t even supposed to be there. They won three games last season and had a rookie quarterback, a rookie head coach, and a rookie offensive coordinator. Yet, somehow, they were able to win a playoff game and speed up the rebuild far quicker than anyone could imagine.
But, they didn’t get the job done, for at least what they had aspirations of. The national media and fans may not have thought this team was capable of winning a Super Bowl this season, but that was certainly the goal. The Texans felt like they could. When you are a playoff team and beat the Cleveland Browns as badly as you did, you will feel like you can win the Super Bowl.
