Texans Are a Popular Name for Pro Football Teams: a history on the Browns’ Week 13 opponent

What’s in a name? Well, in the landscape of pro football: Texans.

Right now, the Houston Texans are the latest to call themselves that – make that the second Houston Texans. But in the annals of pro football history, there have been many that have called their team the “Texans.” Of course, if you are from the State of Texas, the fact that you are a Texan is something to be proud of and brag big about. So, it is only fitting that an owner would want his team to be called folks who live in the great State of Texas.
