It’s hard to project how Saturday’s run-in with the Redskins will affect this team. You could look at it as a ‘wasted practice’ as Jay Gruden did. Or you could look at it as a moment this team bonded and perhaps defined itself for the season.
Without getting into ‘who started it’ talk, let’s be clear. The Texans aren’t going to be pushed around. Everyone saw Vince Wilfork blast his way in the backfield on video. But what you may have missed is how fired up he was after the whole thing was over and the teams divided.
