The Los Angeles Rams won’t be visiting the playoffs in 2019. The Houston Texans will be. With the extended free time of not being in the postseason, a Ram is excited to watch the Texans.
Rams tailback Todd Gurley is especially excited to watch the Texans’ duo of quarterback Deshaun Watson and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in the postseason. He has a strong relationship with both of them.
“Like I said, we won’t be the only team at the house and we’ll still get the chance to watch some good playoff football and root for your brothers that are still in the playoffs,” Gurley said via Cam DaSilva of Rams Wire. “All the good relationships that I have with players. Players from the Houston Texans — get to watch DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson in the playoffs. I just kind of just look forward to that — supporting my brothers. Just going out to the Super Bowl and I guess doing events there and being able to go to the game and still support whoever is playing in it.”
Gurley is excited to watch Houston’s duo. However, he may not get the chance to do so Sunday. While he is expected to rest for Los Angeles’ season finale, he may tune-in to the Texans versus the Tennessee Titans without Watson and Hopkins playing.
Both Watson and Hopkins are questionable for Sunday with a back injury and an illness, respectively. If the Kansas City Chiefs lock-in Houston at the fourth-seed before their 3:25 pm CT kickoff (by beating the Los Angeles Chargers), the two may not play.
However, Gurley will be able to watch the Texans duo in the first round of the playoffs. Houston will not enjoy a first-round bye, meaning that Watson and Hopkins will play, barring injury.
