Houston Texans fans donned their liberty whites and came out for some amazing weather, good ol’ fashioned tailgating and the opener for a season of football. Hopes were high, the temperatures were (relatively) low and we went into this game with oodles of optimism. Our hometown faves fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars 7-29, so now it’s time for a quick turnaround and another chance this Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
