Houston sports fans are still sensitive about anything to do with the Oilers, so eyebrows were raised when Ryan Tannehill went through his pregame routine wearing a shirt with an Oilers logo on it Sunday at NRG Stadium.
Tannehill is a Texas boy, growing up in Big Spring about 450 miles northwest of Houston and playing his college ball much closer to town at Texas A&M. Tannehill was 8 years old when the Oilers bailed on Houston and moved to Tennessee after the 1996 season.
