After two straight losses, the Houston Texans’ Week 1 spark is beginning to waver and confidence in the team is beginning to wane, according to fans.
According to this week’s SB Nation Reacts poll, only 61% of fans believe the team is heading in the right direction, which is a second straight week of a plummeting result.
Much of the team’s struggles early in the season can be attributed to quarterback Davis Mills, who threw a late interception in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. However, 56% of fans think it’s still too early to tell if Mills can be the franchise’s quarterback in the future. On the other hand, 39% of fans are willing to seek a high draft pick in 2023 NFL Draft.

However, despite Mills’ and attack’s struggles, the defense played well and 78% of fans think the unit is better than last year, while 21% want the team to perform better in the fourth. quarter. The Texans have held a tie or a lead in the fourth quarter of each of the three games so far, but they have no wins to show for it.
