The Houston Texans’ Public Relations Department does a good job posting various bits of information to their Twitter account throughout the season, particularly to highlight the achievements of the team or players. I’ve gathered a handful of those tweets about the Texans’ defense that were sent out during or after the Texans’ win over the Bengals on Saturday night below for your perusal; there were a few noteworthy items in there I certainly didn’t know. Enjoy.
