2018 Houston Texans Game Day Live: Texans vs. Colts (First Quarter)

Welcome to Week 4 of Houston Texans football. Three weeks of perturbation and despair have sped past us, leaving us only with vague questions of ‘‘Who’s the best player in the 2019 NFL Draft?’’ and ‘‘Is Jadeveon Clowney REALLY going to be worth all that money?’’.

I would be remiss to not remind you that this game marks the end of the first quarter of the Texans’ regular season slate. While they may be statistically unlikely to make the playoffs, there is always the faintest glimmer of hope that Deshaun Watson and J.J. Watt carry this team to something more than their current form would suggest.

It’s time for your first quarter thread. The opponent is the Colts, who have a QB who almost certainly does NOT have a partially functioning throwing shoulder and the second worst bald spot of any of the AFC South starting QBs.

The comments are yours to react to all the action that happens in the first quarter.
