The 2021 Houston Texans have been a colossal disappointment.
Houston sports fans braced themselves for this outcome all offseason, and have tried to keep a clear-eyed view on the 2022 offseason, when general manager Nick Caserio will have the salary cap space and draft picks to finally refit the roster in a meaningful manner.
At 1-6, the current incarnation feels like the worst team ever fielded in franchise history. After all, they did sustain the worst loss in team history in Week 4 when the Buffalo Bills shut them out 40-0, and the Texans, led by rookie quarterback Davis Mills, are on a six-game losing skid.
Taking a look at the following statistics through the first seven games and comparing it to the rest of the seasons in team history, the 2021 team really isn’t that horrendous. That isn’t to say the losses don’t sting or the franchise is in good shape; it is merely to demonstrate Houston sports fans witnessed far worse and were able to cope.
