On This Date in Texans History: Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson go nuclear

In the 24 year history of the Houston Texans, the franchise still lacks what most other organizations would consider a signature win. Sure, we could point to various Wild Card Round wins that propelled the Texans to the AFC's Final Four, or maybe even look as recently as the 2023 regular season finale, which sent Houston to the Playoffs just 12 months after finishing with the 2nd-worst record in the NFL.

But I don't think it's out of bounds to argue that the closest thing to a signature win in the history of the NFL's youngest franchise took place 13 years ago today, when the 8-1 Houston Texans barely hung on in a midseason home game against the 1-8 Jacksonville Jaguars.
