The 2014 Houston Texans have a new coach, new players, new hope and the same dedicated fan base of Houston-based rappers. As in years past, they took to Twitter on game day to comment on the home team's gridiron action.
And, as in years past, Rocks Off spent Sunday afternoon reading their tweets. The contest against the unfortunate Jacksonville Jaguars was a tale of two halves. The Texans sleepwalked like Mike Birbiglia through the first half of play and trailed by three heading back to the locker room. Everyone -- except maybe Andre Johnson, who left the game after a brutal goal-line hit early on -- seemed to eventually snap out of the daze. The defense pitched a second-half shutout, Arian Foster dominated and the Texans earned their seventh win of the season to stay in the AFC playoff hunt:

7. Suspect Defense
Most times I feel like the Texans game plan on defense is to wait for JJ to make a play & if he doesn't then that's all they planned for
