For nearly a quarter-century, the city of Houston has rallied behind the Texans each and every week from September through January, providing support for the youngest franchise in the National Football League. The efforts of individual Texans players to give back to the community go uncovered far more often than they should, but each and every year in the lead-up to Thanksgiving, the team comes together to provide a boost to families in need ahead of the holiday season.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Texans gave 1,000 Thanksgiving meals back to the community at NRG Stadium during their annual Thanksgiving Turkey Time event, with various players greeting fans and handing out turkeys, pies and all of the fixings.
