I'm not sure if it's because they don't get much national TV love, or if it's because they've spent the majority of the 2025 NFL season under .500, but up until Thursday night's win over the Buffalo Bills, it's felt like the Houston Texans defense wasn't getting nearly enough love for how great the unit has been since a new season began back in September.
Even in each one of their defeats this year, it has been Houston's D keeping the the game within striking distance in five one-possession losses, almost single-handedly winning games that the Texans otherwise would've been blown out in.
