'20 Season 1 Review:

The Texans finished the season 1 regular season, that saw a gauntlet of good teams and coaches, with a 13-2 record (1 game missed due to vacation) and headed into the post season with a first round bye. The post season was short lived however with the Jaguars handing the Texans a loss at home during the Divisional Round. To keep it quite simple, the Texans chose to have the sloppiest game of the season during the game that meant the most. The literal first play of the game for the Texans saw a poor throw from QB Deshaun Watson be intercepted for a defensive touchdown, which ultimately set the overall tone on how the rest of the game would go for the Texans. Multiple 3rd down conversions and big plays called back due to holding, missed tackles on defense and a muffed punt to put a cherry on top sealed the Texans playoff fate. Though out of character for this team and disappointing to say the least, thier are a lot of positives to take away from this season.

With a team and coach that expects to be contending every season for a Superbowl, especially after last cycle being the first in Coach Chan's SFL tenure being the first cycle he didn't win a ring, this years team seemed prime to do so. With a defense lead by JJ Watt and surprising standout Crossen at DB, they saw themselves being tough to move the ball on every week bolstering the least amount of points given up in the leauge and a top 5 defense in terms of yards given up as well. Standouts include: DE JJ Watt (16 sacks) DB Keion Crossen (11 INT/ 3 TD) DB Bradley Roby (9 INT).

Though the numbers aren't mind boggling, the Texans offense still remains to be one of the most efficient offenses in the league. Though his passing numbers weren't off the charts, QB Deshaun Watson led the SFL in passer rating at an efficent 117.5 with a 27 TD/ 8 INT clip. Deshaun remains to stand alone as not only one of few QB's to throw under 20 INT's, but the only QB that threw under 10 INT's on the season. Though the offensive yards were middle of the pack, this team was still top 10 in points scored on the season. With WR Deandre Hopkins showing he's one of league's best offensive players, the surprising emergence of HB Duke Johnson and better play then years past at Oline, the Texans offense should remain putting up points for years to come. Standouts include: QB Deshaun Watson (3,447 yds passing/ 334 rushing yds/ 27 Passing td's/ 5 rushing td's/ 117.5 rating/ 10.4 YPA) WR Deandre Hopkins (105 Rec/ 1888 yds/ 17 TD's) HB Duke Johnson (1218 yds/ 17 TD's)
