Sunday was a great day at NRG Stadium as the Houston Texans handily beat the Steelers 30-6 and inducted J.J. Watt into the team’s Ring of Honor. Many former Texans players attended the ceremony along with the Watt family. Pittsburgh fans filled the stadium with black and yellow diluting the home town fans’ efforts on Battle Red Day.
