Texans pleased with kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn
When the Texans went with young kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn as the replacement for Nick Novak, they hoped that the former Lou Groza award winner would provide accuracy and a strong leg.
So far, Fairbairn has been as advertised.
He's connected on all nine of his field goal attempts, including three kicks against the Tennessee Titans with a career-long 50-yarder. He's scored 38 points and made 11 of 12 extra points, missing wide left Sunday against the Titans. The nine consecutive field goals is the most consecutive kicks made to start a Texans career in franchise history.
