When a team is the absolute worst in the NFL, it would stand to reason that interest in their product would wane. When it comes to interest in your Houston Texans, however, that doesn't appear to be the case. Brian T. Smith tweets:

#Texans have about 67,000 season tickets with a waiting list of 27,000. NRG's max capacity is 71,054. They're + 22,000 on STs alone. #NFL

#Texans' 2013 preseason TV ratings were better than their regular-season ratings five years ago. #NFL
